Attractive 1875-S Select Double Eagle

1875-S $20 MS63 PCGS. CAC. Ex: AWA Collection. The majority of known 1875-S double eagles are in the Extremely Fine to About Uncirculated grade range. Mint State examples certified by PCGS and NGC are mostly in the lower levels thereof (MS60 to MS62). Finer specimens are seen only infrequently.
The present Select offering yields very pleasing luster emanating from peach-gold surfaces imbued with whispers of mint-green. A well executed strike imparts strong definition to the design features, including the obverse star centrils and the eagle's plumage. A few inoffensive scuffs barely preclude the next highest grade. A minute alloy spot between star 5 and Liberty's nose and a moderate abrasion between stars 9 and 10 are mentioned solely for pedigree purposes. Population: 10 in 63, 6 finer (3/10).(Registry values: N4719)

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
