1861 NGC AU details/improperly cleaned.
|
|
Perhaps a bit too conservatively described as "improperly cleaned", the delicate hairlines are hardly out of the ordinary for an early double-eagle like this at the AU level. That being said, some... |

|
A trio of circulated $20 Libs. The 1861 has a scrape around 11 o'clock, but is otherwise a respectable AU. The other two examples look like twins and have a dirty appearance. Three coin lot (Mark). |

1861 MS-62/light abrassions.
|
|
To a very great extent, this butter-smooth double-eagle has the characteristics of an incredibly high grade piece, with creamy surfaces that are amazingly free from marks or abrasions.... with one... |

1861 XF.
|
|
1861 is a year that stands in American memory as the start of the Civil War, and a gold coin of that era is a fantastic memento to arguably the most meaningful conflict in our nation's history. This... |

1861 NGC AU-55.
|
|
Vintage surface quality still retains a lot of luster, more so on the reverse, which is the usual case for the type. Though moderately abraded, the effect of handling has produced no major marks or... |

1861 NGC AU-58.

|
Consistent citrus-gold completely dominates this Civil War twenty, glowing with the luminescence that only a precious metal coin can provide. Reasonably well struck, with abrading apparent in the... |

1861 NCS XF Details, Improperly Cleaned.
|
|
At times, it can be downright puzzling why coins with obvious issues get graded, while those with forgivable problems do not, but such is the roulette wheel of grading. This Civil War double-eagle is... |

1861 NGC AU-58.
|
|
Just meager friction separates this coin from an "uncirculated" assessment. Although 1861 is one of the more available early dates in the series, no double-eagle dated before 1873 can really be called... |

|
1861 NGC AU-58.
|
|
Moderate to substantial abrading of the obverse is counteracted by the retention of virtually all of this coin's original mint luster, and the reverse appears to be essentially mint state. Pale... |

1861 ANACS NET AU-50 Cleaned.
|
|
This specimen manifests a yellow-orange aspect, and luster remains around the elements even though it has been subject to a light cleaning. Some scant contact marks are observed, and the design... |
