Very Rare 1886 Double Eagle

1886 $20 VF 35 PCGS. In terms of sharpness, this coin is at least five points higher in grade. It is a very presentable piece with relatively clean surfaces and sharp detail. This should be one of the more affordable examples of this rare issue that has been available in a while and it would make a very good addition to a middle-grade Liberty Head double eagle set.
1,000 circulation strike 1886 double eagles were produced. Around 25-35 pieces are known today with most of these in the XF 40 to AU 50 range. Here is a coin that will bring less than a decent but not great quality 1907 High Relief double eagle, yet it is many times rarer. At current price levels, this coin seems to be an incredibly good value.
