1871-S Double Eagle, MS61
Eye-Appealing Type Two Twenty

1871-S $20 MS61 PCGS Secure. CAC. Micro S. The average certified grade for an 1871-S double eagle is between AU53 and AU55 despite a mintage approaching 1 million coins. All Mint State examples are scarce, and coins finer than this CAC-approved MS61 are rare. Considerable mint frost remains on each side of this light yellow-gold Type Two double eagle. Strike detail is excellent, allowing for normal softness on the middle curls. Marks occur mainly in the obverse field, while the reverse is relatively clean. There are 34 finer submissions at PCGS. CAC: 18 in 61, 8 finer (7/18).(Registry values: N2998)
