Scarce MS63 1875 Type Two Twenty

1875 $20 MS63 PCGS. By Type Two double eagle standards, the 1875 is not particularly difficult. Still, each issue is a challenge in its own right, and the 1875 is hardly an exception in Mint State. Most of the survivors from the mintage of just under 300,000 pieces fall short of the MS63 level, where the issue becomes conditionally scarce. This Select representative offers silky butter-yellow and peach surfaces and pleasing detail overall, though a trace of softness affects the portrait. Despite light, scattered abrasions, the obverse is pleasing for the grade, though a significant mark is present below the right side of IN GOD WE TRUST. A strongly lustrous example that displays well. PCGS has certified only three coins finer (7/08). (Registry values: N4719)
