Description

Conditionally Scarce 1878-S Twenty, MS62

1878-S $20 MS62 NGC. Despite a large mintage that approached 2 million coins, the 1878-S is an important condition rarity in the Liberty double eagle series. This boldly detailed piece has brilliant yellow luster with a single dark blemish above Liberty's head. While available from time to time in MS62, the 1878-S is rarely seen any finer. NGC has only graded nine finer examples, and PCGS has only certified seven better ones.(Registry values: N4719)
