Description

1879-S Double Eagle, MS62
None Finer at NGC

1879-S $20 MS62 NGC. CAC. A small quantity of 1879-S double eagles was discovered in the Saddle Ridge Hoard, but none of the coins graded better than AU58 at PCGS. This Uncirculated NGC coin is as conditionally scarce now as it was prior to the Saddle Ridge find. None are finer at NGC, and higher-grade PCGS pieces are extremely rare. This CAC-endorsed coin is razor-sharp and displays frosty, radiant yellow-gold luster. Scattered abrasions limit the grade, but none are singularly obtrusive. Census: 43 in 62, 0 finer; CAC: 5 in 62, 0 finer. A pair of MS62 Prooflike coins are also listed at NGC (3/16).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 26B9, PCGS# 8991, Greysheet# 9932)
