Description
Underrated Mint State 1879-S Liberty Twenty
1879-S $20 MS61 PCGS. The 1879-S Liberty double eagle is an underrated Type Three issue in the higher Mint State grades, despite its considerable production exceeding 1.2 million coins. This piece shows lots of luster over orange-gold surfaces, but moderate abrasions preclude a finer grade. PCGS has certified only 53 examples finer (4/10).(Registry values: N1793)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 26B9, PCGS# 8991, GSID# 9932)
