Liberty Double Eagles
1862-S $20 MS61 NGC. Most of the 854,000 S-Mint double eagles coined in 1862 entered circulation, and today the average certified grade is just below AU50. The S.S. Brother Jonathan and S.S. Republic treasure recoveries contributed 190 examples of the 1862-S double eagle to the numismatic marketplace. Despite the appearance of those coins in the last two decades, the combined NGC and PCGS population is limited to 30 examples graded MS61 and only 18 finer, with none above MS63 (11/16). This pleasing example has highly lustrous orange-gold surfaces with scattered, grade-consistent marks. The strike is excellent and the overall eye appeal is first-rate. Census: 17 in 61, 9 finer (11/16).
