Liberty Double Eagles
1863-S $20 AU55 NGC. Small S Mintmark. A few light marks and discernible rub define the grade of this Choice About Uncirculated, Civil War-era twenty. In the West, wartime hoarding was not as severe for silver and gold coinage, although this double eagle may have been tucked away after only brief time in commerce. Luster remains in protected areas and there are no serious abrasions. A pleasing Type One branch mint twenty.
