Description

1887-S Liberty Head Twenty, MS62
Strong Eye Appeal

1887-S $20 MS62 PCGS. CAC. The 1887-S Liberty Head double eagle enjoyed a substantial mintage of 283,000 pieces, but most examples seen are in circulated or lower Mint State grades. The issue is definitely scarce above MS62. The present coin is sharply detailed, with rose-gold surfaces and subtle mint luster. A scattering of minor handling marks on the bust accounts for the grade. Eye appeal is extraordinary.(Registry values: N2998)
