The 1855-S $20 Liberty Head Double Eagle marks the first year of double eagle production at the San Francisco Mint, struck during the height of the California Gold Rush. PCGS has graded 25 as MS61 with 18 finer. Collector’s Universe (CU) prices this issue at $10,000 in MS61. Thus, buy this coin and you will SAVE $2,525 OFF the CU price!
Most examples entered circulation immediately to meet the booming regional economy, leaving relatively few in high grade today. As one of the scarcest Type 1 S-mint double eagles in mint state, the 1855-S stands out for its historical significance and condition rarity among surviving pieces.
This PCGS MS-61 example exhibits sharp design details typical of early San Francisco coinage, with strong hair waves on Liberty and well-defined shield and eagle feathers. The surfaces show the expected light abrasions and contact marks for the grade, along with scattered hairlines from brief circulation. Original mint luster remains visible, and its original honey-gold coloration makes it a beauty ready to be added to your collection.
