Description

Sharply Struck 1884-S Select Double Eagle

1884-S $20 MS63 PCGS. MS63 is about the highest grade most collectors can hope to acquire of the 1884-S double eagle. A well executed strike leaves strong definition on the design elements. Both sides are highly lustrous and yield peach-gold patina with traces of mint-green. Minute handling marks limit the grade. PCGS has seen only 18 coins finer, and NGC 8 pieces (3/09).
