1889 Double Eagle, MS63
Low Mintage, None Graded Finer

1889 $20 MS63 PCGS. Ex: Dallas Bank Collection. Mint production was focused almost exclusively on cents, nickels, and Morgan dollars in 1889. The final three dollar gold and three cent nickel coins were struck in small quantities, token amount of quarters and half dollars were produced, and only 44,070 double eagles were manufactured. The 1889 twenty is more accessible than its low mintage might suggest, but none survive higher than MS63. Strongly defined rose and green-gold surfaces glisten with luminous, frosty luster. Clash marks occur in the reverse fields, and small ticks do not detract. We have little doubt this Select double eagle will find a good home in a high-end gold collection. Population: 30 in 63, 0 finer (8/16).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2695, PCGS# 9010, Greysheet# 9824)
