Liberty Double Eagles
1865 $20 AU53 PCGS. Variety 2, Misplaced Digits. Fewer than two dozen 1865 double eagles exist in Uncirculated conditions, making this Type One Philadelphia issue much-sought in About Uncirculated grades. The present example retains much of its original mint luster, although frictionlike chatter in the fields and high point wear determine the AU53 designation. At least three misplaced digits are visible in the dentils below the primary numerals -- an interesting MPD variety not yet listed in Cherrypickers,' but noted in the Bowers reference as discovered by David Camire at NGC in 2004.
