Description
1879-S Liberty Head Double Eagle, MS61
Attractive Color and Luster
1879-S $20 MS61 PCGS. From a generous mintage of 1.2 million
pieces, the 1879-S double eagle was a widely circulated issue, and
examples in Mint State condition are scarce today. The present coin
is sharply struck, with fine detail present on Liberty's hair and
the star centers. The surfaces are a pleasing orange-gold color,
with hints of rose. Bright mint luster offsets the usual collection
of minor marks and abrasions on both sides.(Registry values: N1793)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 26B9, PCGS# 8991, GSID# 9932)
