1879-S Liberty Twenty, MS62
Rarely Seen Finer

1879-S $20 MS62 PCGS. From a large mintage of more than 1.2 million pieces, the 1879-S Liberty double eagle is not too difficult to locate in circulated grades, but the issue is rare above the MS62 level. This attractive MS62 piece exhibits sharply detailed design elements and vibrant mint luster throughout. The pleasing peach-gold surfaces are lightly marked for the grade and overall eye appeal is outstanding. This coin will be a welcome addition to the finest collection of Liberty double eagles. PCGS has graded 10 numerically finer examples, while NGC has seen only three specimens in higher numeric grades (7/24).(Registry values: N4719)
