1874 Double Eagle, Frosty MS62
Rarely Seen This Fine

1874 $20 MS62 PCGS. In Mint State, the 1874 double eagle is seldom available, and most such coins are heavily abraded, grading no finer than MS61; finer pieces are rare and anything better than MS62 is exceedingly so. The coin in the Smithsonian Institution grades just AU55, per Garrett and Guth. The present piece is attractively frosty with original yellow-gold luster and well-defined motifs. Grade-limiting abrasions are primarily restricted to the obverse, the most noticeable being a vertical cut on Liberty's throat. The rarity of finer examples makes this piece an ideal acquisition for the quality-seeker. Population: 33 in 62, 7 finer (5/15).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 26AN, PCGS# 8970, Greysheet# 9812)
