Description

PCGS 1873 Open 3 MS 63. Satiny and quite sharp, with a pleasing original golden patina over both sides. By far the most common Type Two twenty in mint state, but like the lesser seen issues, condition usually peaks at MS 61 or perhaps an occasional MS 62. This select, unquestionably original example is most important as a type coin, being one of just 25 pieces graded MS 63 for the eleven-year run of Type Two double eagles. Population: 7 in 63, 2 higher (March, 1994).
