Liberty Double Eagles
1861-S $20 AU50 NGC. CAC. After a small number of double eagles with the Paquet reverse was struck early in the year at the San Francisco Mint, a substantial mintage of 768,000 Type One gold twenties was accomplished. The 1861-S is easily located in mid-grade circulated condition, but high grade specimens are elusive. This lightly worn AU example offers lustrous, vivid orange-gold surfaces with the expected number of minor abrasions for the grade.
