Description

1889 Twenty Dollar, MS62
Sharply Struck, Natural Eye Appeal

1889 $20 MS62 PCGS. 1889 twenty dollar gold pieces are infrequently represented at auction when graded MS62 or finer. Only 44,070 pieces were struck, and few survive in Select or finer Mint State grades. This example is a notch below the Select Uncirculated level and scarce as such. Rich-gold surfaces are largely unabraded beneath the sparse accumulation of mint grime. A needle-sharp strike accompanies the coin's refreshing originality, illuminated by full complement of Mint luster. PCGS reports only 37 finer examples, plus eight pieces in 62+ (2/22).
