1875-S Double Eagle, MS63
Rare This Well-Preserved

1875-S $20 MS63 PCGS. The San Francisco Mint produced more than 1.2 million double eagles in 1875, a rather significant number for the period. Many pieces found their way into overseas shipments and have made their way back in recent decades. As a result, AU and Mint State survivors are plentiful in grades through MS61. In MS62 the population declines significantly, and Select or finer pieces are decidedly rare. This frosty representative shows vibrant golden luster and sharp design elements, particularly on the reverse. Grade-limiting abrasions are primarily restricted to faint grazes in the luster, making this piece a high-end coin for the grade. A shallow planchet void near star 3 is mint-made and not immediately obvious. Population: 13 in 63 (1 in 63+), 6 finer (8/14).(Registry values: N4719)
