Gorgeous Gem 1898-S Twenty

1898-S $20 MS65 NGC. This is one of the most beautiful examples of the 1898-S double eagle that we have ever seen. The shimmering cartwheel luster on each side illuminates absolutely gorgeous deep rose-gold toning. The obverse is nearly pristine, and the reverse is also blemish-free, with a handful of small, scattered red-orange alloy spots that are far from being a significant distraction. This issue is scarce at the Gem level of preservation, and virtually unobtainable any finer. Census: 92 in 65, 6 finer (4/07).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 26CL, PCGS# 9034, Greysheet# 9959)

Weight: 33.44 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
