Liberty Double Eagles
1870-S $20 AU58 NGC. This vibrant, medium-gold 1870-S displays a sharp strike and semiprooflike fields. Only light field chatter reveals its brief stint in circulation. While 1870 is a numismatically significant year with the opening of the Carson City Mint as well as several scarce-to-rare denominations, it was business as usual at the San Francisco Mint for double eagles. Nearly 1 million pieces were struck. This near-Mint example shows a cluster of small marks below star 1 but no major abrasions. NGC reports just 77 numerically finer pieces (9/17).
