Description
This is a 1853 $20 LIBERTY GOLD DOUBLE EAGLE – PCGS MS-62, CREAMY LUSTER, LOOKS CHOICE!. A lovely Type 1 $20 in Mint State condition! While not a generally “rare” No Motto Type 1 date, 1853 Philadelphia issues are surprisingly tough in Mint State condition. In fact, Winter considers Mint State examples “quite rare and undervalued.” This example, attractive in all regards, exhibits a strong strike, creamy gold luster and smooth surfaces. The surfaces are amazingly mark-free, with only light scattered chatter in the fields. Considering there are only 5 MS-63s, with 1 MS-63+ and none finer at PCGS, this example seems like tremendous value! At our asking price, this is less than the suggested PCGS Guide of $19,000 for an MS-62 and less than half of the PCGS Price Guide suggested $47,500 value for an MS-63 specimen. Opportunity knocks! Our commitment is to provide you with quality coins and collectibles at the best possible prices. This piece is no exception. Please note, the coin and collectibles markets do fluctuate, and prices occasionally will change. In this rare circumstance, we will contact you first to verify your order.
