Liberty Double Eagles
1871-S $20 MS61 PCGS. Micro S. About Uncirculated examples of the 1871-S are eminently collectible, but the issue becomes very scarce once it crosses the Mint State threshold. This MS61 offering undoubtedly has the look of a higher-grade coin. The central obverse is well-defined, though the left star radials are incomplete. The reverse similarly features razor-sharp detail on the eagle's neck, wing, and tailfeathers, while parts of the legends are marginally soft. Rose-gold surfaces radiate vibrant luster. Fewer marks than expected for the grade.
