1869-S Double Eagle, MS62
Challenging Any Finer
Ex: Granite Lady

1869-S $20 MS62 PCGS. Ex: Granite Lady Hoard. The 1869-S double eagle remains an important rarity in Mint State despite the many foreign repatriates in recent decades. Like many double eagles from the 1860s, today most Uncirculated examples grade no higher than MS60 or MS61. High-end MS62 coins are the target of series specialists. Higher-graded examples are seldom available and often beyond the means of most collectors. This exceptional MS62 coin displays satin-smooth antique gold surfaces and minimal marks throughout the lustrous fields. A few light marks on the cheek and nose are of little notice in-hand, while the original surfaces provide outstanding eye appeal for the grade. PCGS Population: 15 in 62, 8 finer (5/26).
