1862-S $20 MS (PCGS#8938)

The Regency Auction 39

详细说明: FROM THE BIGMO CIVIL WAR COLLECTION A delightful coin in many respects. Looks as good as any Mint State piece! Super smooth surfaces are a delight to behold. Only when using a strong glass can you find some tiny scattered ticks. a good and glowing luster beams from all over. Both sides are a lovely even gold color. There are NO spots or discolorations. Miss Liberty and the details are well struck. All wear is light and you really have to search hard for it. The eye appeal is nice! Approximately 10 times more double eagles were struck in San Francisco than in Philadelphia in 1862, making it a fairly common date in AU55 and lower grades. In AU58 it is still quite scarce, and until the discovery of the S.S. Republic and S.S. Brother Jonathan shipwrecks it was virtually unknown in Mint State. For type, Civil War, or double eagle collectors, this is a great date, as there are about 2,500 estimated to survive. PCGS 69, NGC 152, CAC 34. There has not been a CAC piece auctioned since 2017, when an NGC coin brought $9,693. We can see strong bidding and possibly a record set here. What a great Civil War $20 this is! Cert.
