Liberty Double Eagles
1868-S $20 AU58 PCGS. The average certified 1868-S grades a bit higher than AU50, but that probably overstates the typical quality of the issue. Examples are usually seen in VF through lower AU grades and are rarely found in Uncirculated condition despite a healthy mintage of 837,500 coins. This near-Mint Type Two double eagle retains vibrant luster over khaki-gold surfaces. Strike detail is soft on the first four stars, and light blending occurs over the highest points of the design. PCGS lists 36 finer submissions (5/17).
