Description

Sharp 1882-S Double Eagle, MS63

1882-S $20 MS63 PCGS. As determined by the PCGS/NGC population figures, the 1882-S double eagle can be located in the MS60 to MS62 grade range, showing a population of about 1,100 coins. The population falls precipitously to 43 Select examples, and a mere two coins finer.
This MS63 specimen displays bright luster emanating from its peach-gold surfaces. While the issue is generally incompletely struck, especially on Liberty's hair and the star centers, and the reverse center, this example exhibits sharp definition. Some distributed minuscule marks preclude a higher grade. Population: 30 in 63, 1 finer (3/09).
