Well Struck 1874 Double Eagle, MS62
Conditionally Elusive Type Two Issue

1874 $20 MS62 PCGS. The mintage of the 1874 double eagle was just about a third of a million pieces, and this Type Two issue is scarce in Mint State and seldom seen above MS61. The present MS62 example is one of 22 so certified at PCGS, with six finer (8/10). Although this piece shows a few moderate abrasions that define the grade, the only ones that require singular mention are a scrape through Liberty's hair and forehead and a semicircular abrasion on the upper shield lines. The khaki-gold surfaces nonetheless offer a good strike--notice how all of the star centrils are fully defined--and lots of eye appeal.(Registry values: N4719)
