***Auction Highlight*** 1869-p Gold Liberty Double Eagle $20 Graded ms61 By SEGS. Up For Auction is a 1869-p $20 Liberty Head Gold Double Eagle ms61 SEGS. There are about 51 Mint State survivors for the 1869 double eagle. With 175,155 pieces struck, that total represents an Uncirculated survival rate of merely 0.03%. The fact is none of these coins were ever intended to survive. They were manufactured exclusively for export, as gold and silver remained unseen in domestic circulation after the Civil War. Once the coins were received abroad, they were usually melted and recoined. It is purely by chance that a few dozen Mint State pieces are extant, including this MS61 representative. Khaki accents complement frosty orange-gold surfaces. The stars show full radials, and partial detail appears on the eagle's neck feathers. Heavily abraded, as expected for the grade. We have included an ms61 for your comparison. I think you will agree ours is vastly superior 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
