Description

1879-S Double Eagle, MS62
Tied for Finest at NGC

1879-S $20 MS62 NGC. This early Type Three San Francisco double eagle issue has a mintage of more than 1.2 million pieces, yet the date is elusive in Mint State. At the MS62 level, for instance, it is a borderline condition rarity, and no finer examples are known to NGC. As MS62 1879-S twenties go, this is an attractive example, lightly abraded overall and yet strongly lustrous with mild reflectivity to yellow-gold and pale orange surfaces. Occasional copper spots and a light layer of patina add to the coin's aura of authentic eye appeal. Census: 34 in 62, 0 finer (12/10).(Registry values: N4719)

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