Description

1890-S Double Eagle, MS63
Conditionally Scarce

1890-S $20 MS63 PCGS. A heavily exported issue, but few coins have returned to the U.S. with the Select Uncirculated surfaces possessed by this example. The fields are reflective beneath a coating of mint frost, resulting in colorful accents when rotated in light. Orange and lime-green hues interplay with abundant luster beneath the frosted patina. A thin scrape on Liberty's neck is the most notable mark, but it is shallow and not seriously distracting. Conditionally scarce in this grade, with just 20 pieces certified numerically finer by PCGS and only eight coins finer by NGC (6/14).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 26BZ, PCGS# 9015, Greysheet# 9948)

Weight: 33.44 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
