1870-S Double Eagle, MS62
Popular Date-Mintmark Combination

1870-S $20 MS62 PCGS. Small Squat S. The unique 1870-S half dime, the rare 1870-S Seated dollar, and the unique 1870-S three dollar gold piece certainly contribute to the popularity of this date-mintmark combination for all denominations. In the case of the 1870-S double eagle, a healthy mintage of 920,000 coins was accomplished. However, the issue is conditionally scarce in MS62 and practically unavailable any higher with just two coins each graded better at PCGS and NGC. The present example showcases frosty rose and khaki-gold surfaces scattered with small bagmarks. Well-detailed for the type. Population: 16 in 62 (2 in 62+), 2 finer (11/21).
