Liberty Double Eagles
1867-S $20 MS60 PCGS. The 1867-S is often overlooked as a common date in circulated condition, but in Mint State it is a genuinely rare issue. No Uncirculated pieces grade finer than MS62 at PCGS, and the majority grade MS60 or MS61. In more than two decades, we have handled a Mint State 1867-S double eagle on only 16 occasions. For its grade, the present coin is quite appealing. Each side displays original olive-gold patina atop frosty yellow-gold luster. The strike is bold. In the absence of singularly obtrusive abrasions, each side exhibits scattered surface chatter that defines the grade. Population: 14 in 60, 12 finer (1/17).
