1902 Double Eagle, MS64
Remarkably Rare at This Grade

1902 $20 MS64 NGC. Surprisingly, the 1902 is one of the lowest-mintage double eagles of the 20th century (31,140 coins). It is the rarest Liberty Head twenty struck in 1900s, and when found it usually grades ranging from AU to lower Mint State. Choice Uncirculated and finer examples are extremely rare. This near-Gem is sharply struck, unusual for this issue that is often seen weak on the stars, hair strands, and eagle's plumage. Both sides display frosty orange-gold luster, displaying occasional splashes of faint of lemon-yellow accents illuminated by flashy mint luster. A few marks around Liberty's eye are the most noticeable marks that preclude full Gem classification. NGC Census: 7 in 64 (1 in 64+), 1 finer (11/24).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 26CU, PCGS# 9041, Greysheet# 9837)

Weight: 33.44 grams
