Description

1890-S Double Eagle, MS64+
Notable Condition Rarity

1890-S $20 MS64+ NGC. CAC. This San Francisco issue is virtually unavailable in full Gem condition, making high-end near-Gem coins always in strong demand. This lustrous and Choice example is brilliant and virtually unmarked. The lightly frosted fields emit bold cartwheel luster, white the strike is absolutely full. All of Liberty's hair strands and curls are fully brought up. The eagle is bold from feathers to fletchings.

A "condition rarity" of the highest order, it is likely no more than a dozen or so finer coins exist of this surprisingly challenging S-mint date. Census: 12 in 64 (5 in 64+), 2 finer (7/14).(Registry values: N7079)

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

Weight: 33.44 grams
