<B>1872 $20 MS62 PCGS.</B></I> The 1872 double eagle, with a mintage of 251,850 business strikes, is usually found in Very Fine through About Uncirculated condition. Mint State coins are rare, and occur mostly in MS60 and MS61 grades. PCGS and NGC have certified fewer than 20 specimens in MS62, a mere three in MS63, and a single near-Gem. No Gem quality examples have yet been certified.<BR> Apricot-gold patina bathes both sides of this MS62 coin, and is joined by mint-green on the reverse. The design elements are generally well brought up. Soft luster resides on the lightly abraded surfaces. Housed in a green-label holder.<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> James B.
