Lustrous MS62 1887-S Double Eagle

1887-S $20 MS62 NGC. One of the more desirable S-mint Type Three double eagles, the 1887-S was produced to the extent of only 283,000 pieces, and today most certified survivors average only Choice AU or so. Like so many of those issues, above MS62 the populations decrease markedly. This piece has good luster over somewhat scuffy grayish-gold fields. NGC has certified only 21 pieces finer (7/08).(Registry values: N2998)
