***Auction Highlight*** 1859-p TOP POP Gold Liberty Double Eagle $20 Graded ms62 By SEGS. Up For Auction is a 1859-p $20 Liberty Head Gold Double Eagle ms62 SEGS. The 1859 is the fourth rarest Type One double eagle struck in the Philadelphia Mint. Of the 200-225 pieces known in all grades, only 4-6 coins are believed extant in mint condition. The 1859 also has the second lowest mintage figure of all Type One P-mint twenties with only 43,597 pieces produced. Although virtually all known high grade (AU and better) 1859 twenties, the stars on the left side of the obverse are weakly struck, on ours they are sharply impressed, a true standout from all other survivors. With the possible exception of the 1866-S No Motto, the 1859 is the most difficult No Motto twenty to locate with choice surfaces, and almost all known examples are extensively abraded. This coin does show several more obvious marks on the left side of the obverse, but the remainder of the coin is remarkably clean for the issue. The Obverse is decidedly Proof Like, with reflective fields. This is most likely the finest example known of this rarity with none finer at any of the major services and only one equal in grade. Tied for finest known. We have included the other ms62 for your comparison. 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
