Liberty Double Eagles
1874-S $20 MS62+ PCGS. Block S. Whether through exportation, melting, or circulation, few 1874-S survive in Mint State. Those that do are found in MS60 to MS61 roughly seven times more than those in MS62. The finest examples at PCGS and NGC are in MS63, only fractionally finer than the gorgeous honey-gold example offered here. Coruscating luster rolls over lightly marked surfaces, though abrasions are minimal for the grade. The obverse stars, curls, and feathers are as sharp as can be. PCGS has seen merely four finer submissions (6/17).
