Description

Pleasing 1875-S Select Double Eagle
An Important Condition Rarity

1875-S $20 MS63 NGC. While many of the 1.230 million 1875-S double eagles were shipped overseas for trade, large numbers have returned to America over the past few decades, resulting in a large supply to satisfy collector demand. Most extant specimens are in the About Uncirculated grades. The issue is available in Mint State, but is primarily limited to MS60 and MS61. MS62s are scarce and finer examples are rare.
Pleasing luster endows this Select offering and an impressive strike delivers strong definition to the design elements, including most of Liberty's hair that frequently shows flatness on many examples. Yellow-gold surfaces are tinged with hints of light green and are minimally abraded. A few grease streaks in the lower left reverse quadrant are noted. Census: 11 in 63, 5 finer (11/09).
