<B>1868 $20 AU58 NGC.</B></I> The 1868 double eagle, with a mintage of fewer than 100,000 pieces, is a scarce issue in any grade. Most survivors are in Very Fine or Extremely Fine condition. AU examples become quite scarce, especially high-end coins. Mint State specimens are rare (indeed, NGC and PCGS combined have seen fewer than 10 Uncirculated pieces). The AU58 example in this lot exhibits bright yellow-gold surfaces that retain ample luster, and that display well defined design elements. The ticks scattered about each side do not detract, and are typical for a lightly circulated, heavy gold coin. Census: 41 in 58, 4 finer (3/07).<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
