1889 Double Eagle, MS63
Rare, Among the Finest at PCGS

1889 $20 MS63 PCGS. The 1889 double eagle is challenging in all Mint State grades. Only 44,070 pieces were struck, a tiny fraction of the 774,700 pieces produced at San Francisco that year. In MS63, the Philadelphia coin is decidedly rare, and no finer pieces are listed at PCGS. NGC lists a single higher-grade example of this underrated issue (6/20).

The present coin is about as fine as the 1889 twenty is realistically available for collectors. Sharply rendered design elements complement frosty, vibrant yellow-gold and orange mint luster, while only a few unobtrusive surface grazes prevent an even finer numeric grade. The eye appeal of this piece is far beyond what is normally seen at the MS63 grade level even on common-date coins. This 1889 double eagle represents an incredible opportunity for the Liberty double eagle specialist. Population: 34 in 63 (2 in 63+), 0 finer (6/20).(Registry values: N4719)
