Description

Sharply Struck 1887-S Double Eagle, MS62

1887-S $20 MS62 PCGS. Peach-gold surfaces display splashes of subtle mint-green, lilac, and powder-blue, and an above average strike leaves strong delineation on the design features, including the obverse stars and date digits, elements than more often than not are weak. Both sides show pleasing luster that reveals just occasional breaks resulting from scattered light contact marks. MS62 is the finest grade generally encountered for this issue.(Registry values: N2998)
