1881-S Liberty Head Double Eagle, MS62
Seldom Encountered in Finer Grades

1881-S $20 MS62 PCGS. CAC. The 1881-S Liberty Head double eagle is easy to locate in circulated grades, but examples in MS62 condition are scarce. The date is nothing less than rare in any higher grade, as PCGS and NGC have combined to certify only 22 coins at higher grade levels (8/10). The present coin is a pleasing MS62 specimen, with a sharp strike and frosty mint luster. The surfaces are an attractive greenish-gold color, and show only grade-consistent abrasions.(Registry values: N2998)
