Description

Important 1875-S Double Eagle in MS 62

1875-S $20 MS 62 NGC. Like the 1874-S and 1876-S, 1875-S (1.2 million pieces produced) is an easily obtainable issue in circulated grades that becomes scarce to rare above the Mint State threshold. This is a premium quality example whose richly frosted surfaces are curiously abrasion-free for the MS 62 grade. There are peripheral die cracks on both sides, but these features did not prevent this coin from receiving a powerful impression from the dies.
From the Helyn Van Huffel Collection.
