Description

1878-S Twenty Dollar Liberty, MS62
Colorful Lustrous Example

1878-S $20 MS62 NGC. The 1878-S Liberty double eagle claims a substantial mintage of 1.7 million pieces, but the issue is surprisingly difficult to locate in grades above the MS62 level. This impressive MS62 example offers sharply detailed design elements and lustrous orange-gold surfaces with the expected number of grade-consistent contact marks. NGC has graded 11 numerically finer examples (7/24).(Registry values: N4719)
