Delightful 1875 Type Two Twenty, MS63

1875 $20 MS63 PCGS. CAC. Housed in a green-label PCGS holder is a gorgeous representative of the Type Two Liberty double eagle design. This conditionally rare Select Mint State example has lovely yellow-gold brilliance with wonderful orange patina on both sides. The strike is bold and the smooth surfaces are extremely clean for the grade.
The Type Two Liberty twenties are much rarer than either of the other two types. Many high-grade Type One coins have entered the market in the last two decades, mostly from three different underwater treasures that have been discovered. The Type Three coins are common due to higher mintages and greater survival rates. Neither circumstance happened with the Type Two coins, and today examples are elusive in all Mint State grades, even for a so-called common date like the 1875. Population: 50 in 63, 3 finer (7/10).
