1885-S $20 MS64 PCGS. A sharply impressed example with fully defined features and a rich, frosty sheen. The number of abrasions is consistent with the assigned grade, with just a few in the facial area being worthy of mention. The 1885-S is not a particularly noteworthy issue in lesser Mint State grades, but the number of Choice or better examples falls off dramatically and Gems are virtually non-existent. Population: 28 in 64, 1 finer (11/05). (PCGS# 9005)

1885-S $20 MS64 NGC. All but unsurpassable in terms of surface preservation, this bright yellow-gold specimen is nicely frosted with swirling cartwheel effects. Lightly abraded, as befits the assigned grade, yet uncommonly smooth for this otherwise easily obtainable S-mint date. In the past 10 years, we have only offered one other Choice BU '85-S, and this appears to be a slightly better example. Population: 25 in 64, 6 finer (11/03). (PCGS# 9005)

1885-S $20 MS64 PCGS. Once the California gold rush began in earnest, it wasn't long before the bulk of double eagle production became the responsibility of the newly opened San Francisco Mint. By 1856 the mintage of S-mint twenties exceeded one million pieces and output continued at a frantic pace throughout the Civil War. It is therefore extremely curious that no double eagles were struck in San Francisco in the year 1886. Offered here is a second Choice representative from the previous year. Like the coin just offered, this piece is well detailed and shows far fewer surface marks than is normally encountered for the issue.

1885-S $20 MS64 PCGS. This is an extraordinary near-Gem piece with bright pinkish-gold luster and frosty surfaces. It is sharply struck and nearly mark-free. Like most San Francisco Mint double eagles of this era, nearly the entire mintage entered circulation with few saved by collectors. Most numismatists that were active at the time had no interest in mintmarks, thus these coins were not saved. There were exceptions, of course. For example, just a few years later J.M. Clapp began ordering coins every year from the different branch mints. Population: 28 in 64, 1 finer (10/06). (PCGS# 9005)

1885-S $20 MS64 NGC. As the 1880s draw to a close, the San Francisco Double Eagles from this mint become progressively more available in the higher Uncirculated grades. It appears that more and more were sent overseas and were reasonably well preserved during their multi-decade European vacations. The 1885-S is common in grades up to and including MS62. It is moderately scarce in MS63, quite rare in MS64, and extremely rare in Gem Uncirculated.

This NGC MS64 is among the best we have seen. The surfaces are bright and lustrous with scarcely any abrasions or luster grazes to keep it from a full Gem grade. Fully struck. (PCGS# 9005)

1885-S $20 MS64 NGC. The challenge with the 1885-S double eagle is not in locating an Uncirculated representative for it is an issue of relative abundance at that level, but in finding a Choice, minimally abraded example. While not without a few scattered obverse abrasions, this example is one of the nicer 1885-S twenties we have seen. The strike is typically bold and potent luster even incorporates a bit of prooflike flash on the reverse. Importantly, one a single Gem has been certified by both major services combined. Census: 10 in 64, 0 finer (11/06). (PCGS# 9005)

1885-S $20 MS63 PCGS. While always available in lower grades, the 1885-S becomes progressively more and more elusive as one climbs the Mint State ladder with MS63 coins are essentially the last rung of affordability for the collector. This is a fully struck example that has even, orange-gold coloration and bright, luminous mint luster. Exceptionally attractive for an MS63. Population: 163 in 63, 11 finer (10/03). (PCGS# 9005)

1885-S $20 MS63 NGC. Peach colors grace the centers of this lustrous and carefully preserved representative. Sharply struck, and quite attractive due to the paucity of detrimental marks. Aside from a few dates such as the 1861-S Paquet Reverse and the 1866-S No Motto, most San Francisco Liberty Double Eagles are available in abraded AU or Mint State grades. However, the trick is to find pieces with pleasing surfaces, such as the present coin. (PCGS# 9005)

1885-S $20 MS63 NGC. A high-end example for the grade, this lustrous specimen has much fewer abrasions than are typically seen at this grade level. The strike is sharp and the eye appeal is well above average overall. Like many S-mint Double Eagles of this era, the 1885-S is relatively available in MS63 but becomes increasingly rarer at just one grade point higher. Population: 101 in 63, 10 finer (11/05).
