Description

Conditionally Rare 1888-S Twenty, Tied as Finest Certified

1888-S $20 MS64 PCGS. The 1888-S has a mintage of 859,600 pieces, and while this will never place it among the key dates to the series, it must be remembered that there was little if any contemporary numismatic interest in the denomination aside from the Philadelphia Mint proofs. The business strikes were considered to be bullion, and were loosely stacked and stored in bags. Uncirculated pieces are by no means rare, however, the vast majority are notably abraded from contact with their peers. The present well struck Double Eagle is a fortunate exception, since the few contact marks are light and the cartwheel luster is not encumbered by extensive grazes.
