1870-S Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-61 (PCGS).Lustrous and frosty medium gold surfaces are uncommonly well struck for a Type II Liberty Head twenty. The mintage for this issue is a generous 982,000 pieces with a face value of $19,640,000. Likely, many were sent overseas later in the decade, accounting for most of those surviving today. We estimate that upward of 250 Mint State examples are extant, and these are eagerly sought by advanced collectors specializing in high grade Liberty Head gold coinage.
