***Auction Highlight*** 1872-p Gold Liberty Double Eagle $20 Graded ms62 By SEGS. Up For Auction Is a 1872-p $20 Liberty Head Gold Double Eagle ms62 SEGS. Offered is a premium quality 1872 double eagle, an issue that is seldom offered even in marginal mint state quality. Vivid golden-orange surfaces are enhanced by wisps of iridescent reddish-rose. The strike is sharp to full throughout, and the surfaces are satiny in texture and exceptionally vibrant. The 1872 double eagle had a mintage of 251,850 circulation strikes, a good portion of which were sent overseas at a later time. Many high-grade EF and AU pieces, along with some mint state coins, found their way back to America beginning with the efforts of Paul Wittlin and James F. Kelly in the 1950s. These repatriated examples account for many of the examples in numismatic hands. Mint state survivors are in the minority, with perhaps just 80 to 120 pieces extant. Most of the uncirculated coins encountered are at the lower end of the mint state spectrum, generally MS-60 or MS-61. Select examples are of the utmost rarity and desirability. Tied for 4nd Finest known 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
