Liberty Double Eagles
1861-S $20 AU53 NGC. San Francisco Mint personnel were instructed to return to using the normal reverse after the Paquet design was used to strike 19,250 twenty dollar gold coins early in the year. More than 750,000 1861-S double eagles were struck after that point, less than 1% of which are believed extant. This is a medium orange-gold example with partial luster. Myriad abrasions and slightly incomplete detail are characteristic. Bold die break through OF AM.
