Lot 1709
1859-S $20 Liberty. NGC graded AU-58. A hint of tone. An attractive coin. Very close to Mint State. The 1859-S double eagle is scarce in higher grades. Years ago most pieces in auction offerings were listed as Very Fine or Extremely Fine, and mainly well abraded with marks. Today, certified About Uncirculated 58 coins are seen with some infrequently. Mint State coins, however, jump in price and may be unaffordable to the average buyer. Pop 113; 21 finer, 5 in 60, 8 in 61, 8 in 62 (PCGS # 8928) .
Estimated Value $3,000 - 3,300.
