1890 Double Eagle, MS63
Only Four Numerically Finer at PCGS

1890 $20 MS63 PCGS. Double eagle production at the Philadelphia Mint in 1890 amounted to only a little more than 75,000 pieces, fewer than were even produced at the small Carson City branch that year. Mint State survivors are occasionally seen, but are almost always in MS62 and lower grades; MS63 pieces are rare, and finer coins are exceedingly so. This radiant, frosty representative showcases rich orange-gold luster and boldly detail motifs. A few surface grazes in the left obverse field preclude a finer grade, but do not overly inhibit the eye appeal. Population: 38 in 63, 4 finer (8/14).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 26BX, PCGS# 9013, Greysheet# 9825)

Weight: 33.44 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
