Description

1885-S Double Eagle, MS64
Attractive Type Coin

1885-S $20 MS64 PCGS. A relatively large mintage of 683,500 coins were struck for the 1885-S San Francisco branch mint twenty dollar gold issue, but only three coins are graded numerically higher than this fine example. Medium yellow-gold with orange overtones, this specimen is very attractive. Glowing frosty luster swirls in cartwheels when rotated under a light. Small contact marks are not bothersome. Well struck, this is an overall excellent representative, and would make a great type coin for the design.(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 26BP, PCGS# 9005, Greysheet# 9942)
