Liberty Double Eagles
1868-S $20 MS60 PCGS. The 1868-S Liberty double eagle claims a more-than-adequate mintage of 837,500 pieces. Like most Type Two twenties, the 1868-S circulated heavily in the Western economy at the time of issue. Alternatively, some coins were exported, to settle large accounts in foreign trade. In any case, few examples were saved for numismatic purposes, and the issue is rare in all Mint State grades today.
This attractive Mint State specimen exhibits well-detailed design elements, with a touch of the typical softness on Liberty's hair. The pleasing orange-gold surfaces retain much original mint luster and show the expected number of minor contact marks for the grade. Housed in a new 30th Anniversary green label holder. Population: 15 in 60, 20 finer (1/17).
