1867 $20 MS61 认证号50790315, PCGS号8951

Ron Guth

Though the 1867 $20 is available by the hundreds in Mint State, it rarely comes as nice as Akers suggested years ago.  He wrote that a number of "choice or gem quality" examples existed, but they simply have not shown up yet -- certainly not at auction or in the population reports at PCGS or NGC.  In fact, the best certified examples are a few pieces of MS63 quality.  Thus, this date should now be considered under-rated in top condition.

Several substantial quantities of mint state 1867 Double Eagles were discovered in Europe in the 1960's and so the 1867 is relatively common in Unc. and is certainly one of the dates prior to 1873 most likely to be available in choice condition. These mint state "hoard" coins are characterized by attractive color (pink, green and copper) and excellent lustre. As many as several hundred uncs exist and although most are the typical bagmarked 60 quality, a number of them are choice or gem quality.
