Description

Noteworthy 1890-S Double Eagle, MS63

1890-S $20 MS63 PCGS. The 1890-S twenty was shipped overseas in large quantities, and those that have returned to the United States typically show extensive marks. This piece is remarkably clean for the grade with only slight grazes around Liberty's cheek that mildly affect the luster. The rest of the surfaces show only minor abrasions. Sharply struck for the most part with the usual weakness on the high points of the hair. A pleasing, better grade example. PCGS has certified 18 pieces finer, some of which are undoubtedly resubmissions.(Registry values: N4719)
