Exceptional 1890 Double Eagle, MS64

This near-Gem specimen is tied for the finest that PCGS has certified. It has bold design definition with fully brilliant and frosty orange-gold luster. While critical examination with a magnifier reveals a few trivial blemishes that are consistent with the grade, a first look at this piece suggest a coin of Gem quality. Here is an amazing opportunity for the connoisseur to acquire an example of the 1890 double eagle rarity. Population: 5 in 64, 0 finer (1/10).(Registry values: N1)
