1890 Double Eagle, MS64
Just Two Finer at NGC

1890 $20 MS64 NGC. Rich yellow-gold coloration is infused into the planchet at the most fundamental level, as is the buoyant and original cartwheel luster. Rose gold highlights are interspersed throughout. All details are intricately defined on both the obverse and the reverse. Abrasions are few and far between, with fields cleaner than are found on almost all examples of this issue. The culprit is primarily a very low mintage, with just 75,940 double eagles leaving the Philadelphia Mint in 1890, leaving few opportunities for superlative examples to survive. However, the present example is certainly an exception, with just two equivalent and two finer certifications at NGC. Census: 3 in 64, 2 finer (12/25).(Registry values: N1)

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

Weight: 33.44 grams
