Description

1874-S Liberty Head Twenty, MS61
Elusive in Higher Grades

1874-S $20 MS61 NGC. While the 1874-S Liberty Head double eagle can be located in MS61 condition without too much difficulty, examples in higher grades are elusive. The present coin is a well struck specimen, with just a touch of weakness on Liberty's hair. The pleasing greenish-gold fields exude frosty mint luster. As expected from the grade, a few handling marks are evident in the obverse field in front of Liberty's face.(Registry values: N2998)
