Liberty Double Eagles
1869-S $20 -- Altered Surfaces -- PCGS Genuine. Unc Details. Most surviving 1869-S double eagles fall within the XF to AU grade range, whereas Uncirculated representatives are very scarce. The story is the same as most other West Coast issues from the period, save for those that were lost and recovered at sea. This partly lustrous Mint State coin shows evidence of smoothing in the fields, but the design elements are crisply rendered. Rose-gold colors each side.
