Liberty Double Eagles
1870-S $20 AU58 PCGS. With a mintage just shy of 1 million pieces, the 1870-S double eagles did heavy lifting in bank-to-bank commerce and even the large twenty dollar gold pieces circulated widely throughout the West Coast in the 1870s. This borderline Uncirculated example must have been removed from circulation shortly after mintage. It retains much of the mint-fresh luster that radiates from frosted yellow-gold fields and sharp devices. Scattered surface chatter does little to diminish the vibrant visual appeal.
