1889-S Liberty Twenty, MS64
None Numerically Finer at PCGS

1889-S $20 MS64 PCGS. The 1889-S Liberty double eagle claims a mintage of 774,700 pieces but the issue circulated heavily in the regional economy and the channels of foreign trade at the time of issue. Most examples seen show heavy wear from circulation or excessive surface marks from storage and transport., Until approximately 300 pieces surfaced in the famous Saddle Ridge Hoard, the 1889-S was a rare issue in any Mint State grade. It is still quite elusive at the MS64 grade level and finer examples are virtually unobtainable.

This delightful Choice example offers sharply detailed design elements and the well-preserved yellow-gold surfaces radiate vibrant mint luster on both sides. Overall eye appeal is outstanding. Population: 37 in 64 (5 in 64+), 0 finer (10/14).(Registry values: N7079)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 26BW, PCGS# 9012, Greysheet# 9946)
