Liberty Double Eagles
1875 $20 MS64 PCGS. As the only readily collectible gold issue from the Philadelphia Mint dated 1875, the issue attracts more than its share of attention from collectors. In near-Gem condition, the 1875 is a major gold rarity as a circulation strike. Proofs are rare, too (just 20 pieces struck), making this example one of the few Choice coins available for a high-grade set.
A lustrous and frosty example, the rich-gold surfaces radiate a Mint-fresh eye appeal. Some angled planchet striations in the right obverse field may be no more than faint alloy streaks, certainly of Mint origin and do not disturb the surface or any of the sharply struck raised devices. A few light bagmarks are noted. Heritage has offered but one previous MS64 coin in the past 20 years, which realized $40,250 at the August, 2007 ANA Signature event. Population: 4 in 64, 0 finer (10/16).
