Description

1875-S Double Eagle, Frosty MS64
Condition Rarity; Few Are Finer

1875-S $20 MS64 PCGS. Readily available in lower Mint State grades, the 1875-S was struck in large quantity (more than 1.2 million pieces) and used extensively for export. Many overseas coins have since returned, but typically they grade between AU50 and MS62. Select Uncirculated examples are very scarce, and coins any finer are truly rare.

This frosty, near-Gem twenty is smooth and attractive with sharply struck motifs and no marks of concern. The reverse is essentially without abrasions, while the deeply frosted obverse shows but a handful of minor luster grazes and a few tiny scrapes, some that may be of Mint origin -- one small, possible strike-through near the ear, and a few sequential smaller ones hidden in the hair needing magnification to view. The rich, medium-gold color shows greenish highlights amid bright, cartwheel luster. PCGS and NGC have each graded only a single coin in finer numeric grade. PCGS Population: 8 in 64 (2 in 64+), 1 finer (1/25).
