Description

Noteworthy 1880-S Double Eagle, MS64

1880-S $20 MS64 NGC. Ex: Eagle Collection. The 1880-S double eagle is often weakly struck, particularly on the hair near the forehead and atop the head, and on the star centers (Michael Fuljenz and Douglas Winter, 1999, p. 46). A well executed strike leaves its mark on all of the design elements of this near-Gem, however. Moreover, rich orange-gold patina with hints of grayish-green resides on the highly lustrous surfaces. A few minor handling marks preclude Gem classification, but there are no disturbing copper or grease stains that are visible on a number of surviving examples. Census: 2 in 64, 2 finer (3/09).
