Select Uncirculated 1888-S Twenty Dollar

1888-S $20 MS63 PCGS. An impressive orange-gold Select Liberty Double Eagle with shimmering cartwheel luster and a clean reverse. A few minor marks on the obverse are expected for the grade. Although the 1888-S Twenty was struck and saved in quantity, generations of indifferent storage in bank vaults have limited the vast majority of survivors to MS62 and lower grades. MS63 pieces are scarce, and finer grades are decidedly rare. Population: 209 in 63, 37 finer (9/04).(#9009) (Registry values: N2998)
