Well Struck 1874 Twenty Dollar, MS62

1874 $20 MS62 NGC. An examination of certified population data indicate that the majority of extant 1874 double eagles fall into the Extremely Fine to About Uncirculated range. A number of Mint State coins have also been graded, nearly all in MS60 to MS61. The issue is extremely scarce in MS62 and is rarely encountered any finer.
The lustrous apricot-gold surfaces of the current MS62 offering are uniformly well struck, including full radials in the obverse stars and sharpness on the eagle's plumage. Some scattered marks prevent the attainment of the next highest grade. We hasten to add, however, that these are fewer and of less severity that typically found on the vast majority of Mint State survivors. Census: 18 in 62, 3 finer (11/09).
