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... |

1861 PCGS AU-50, 1868-S PCGS VF-35 (green label), and 1869-S VF-35...
|
|
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 Coronet double-eagle EF-45
|
|
Despite our "wiped" disclaimer, there is a good chance this coin could qualify for certification. The hairlines are mild and inoffensive, and do little to inhibit the nice, original mint luster... |

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... |
