Liberty Double Eagles
1867-S $20 AU58 NGC. Small Squat S. The mintage of the 1867-S approaches 1 million coins, but examples were employed extensively in Western trade with no thought given to preserving some for the future. Consequently, Mint State coins are major rarities (about 20 pieces). Near-mint representatives are about as fine as one can hope to procure. Each side is orange-gold with hints of rose. Stars 1 through 4 and the curls are incomplete, but design definition is bold elsewhere. Most marks are confined to the obverse, while the reverse is comparatively clean.
