Select 1889 Liberty Head Double Eagle
Among the Finest Certified

1889 $20 MS63 PCGS. The mintage of P-mint double eagles was sharply reduced in 1889, to a meager 44,070 pieces. The issue is scarce in all grades today and rare at the Select Mint State level. Current population data from the leading grading services reveal PCGS has certified 17 coins in MS63, with none finer; NGC has graded only five Select specimens, with none finer (6/10).
The present coin is an impressive Select specimen, with attractive greenish-gold surfaces and bright, frosty mint luster. The strike details are sharp, with all star centers perfect and fine detail on Liberty's curls. A few minor handling marks on Liberty's cheek define the grade but do not dampen the excellent eye appeal.(Registry values: N4719)
