Description

1889-S Twenty, Conditionally Scarce MS64+
Outstanding Eye Appeal

1889-S $20 MS64+ PCGS. CAC. The 1889-S double eagle can be located through the Select level of preservation with relatively little trouble thanks to the discovery of the Saddle Ridge hoard in February 2013. Near-Gems remain very scarce and higher-grade examples are rare. We believe the certified population reports to be inflated by resubmissions. Intense luster emanates from the peach-gold surfaces of this high-end MS64 offering and sharp detail is seen on the design elements. Both sides are remarkably smooth for the grade designation. These attributes add up to give this piece outstanding eye appeal. Population: 74 in 64 (18 in 64+), 5 finer (7/15).(Registry values: N7079)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 26BW, PCGS# 9012, Greysheet# 9946)

Weight: 33.44 grams
