Liberty Double Eagles
1868-S $20 AU58 NGC. Small Squat S. The scarcity of 1868-S double eagles in fully Uncirculated conditions makes near-Mint examples especially attractive to specialists in mintmarked gold. The issue has a low profile in comparison to other Type Two twenties, yet it is challenging to find with relatively unscathed surfaces and attractive coloration such as the present coin. Much luster remains beneath the frosted, lightly marked fields and well-struck motifs. The mintage of 837,500 pieces circulated heavily; accordingly, NGC reports only 41 pieces in numerically finer grades (3/17).
