***Auction Highlight*** 1870-s Gold Liberty Double Eagle $20 Graded ms62 By SEGS. The 1870-S double eagle had a substantial mintage of 982,000 pieces. Many double eagles -- Types One, Two, and Three -- had mintages that were a fraction of this production number; however, numerous examples have been found over the years in hoards, especially shipwreck finds. This does not appear to be the case with the 1870-S. The only find (it can hardly be called a hoard) were two pieces that were a part of the Saddle Ridge Hoard. Survivors generally are fairly obtainable in XF to near-Mint grades. This is a bright, lustrous example that exhibits radiant yellow-gold color. The strike details are strong throughout. A Corey's Pick, Bid to Win, Don't let it get Away, you might not find its equal Coin. I give this coin my highest recommendation
