Description

Condition Rarity 1890-S Double Eagle, MS64

1890-S $20 MS64 NGC. Large numbers of this issue were shipped abroad for international trade, and many have been returning to the States over the past few decades. Most are low-grade or heavily abraded Mint State pieces. Any coins above MS63 are therefore rare. This near-Gem exhibits boldly defined design elements, along with pleasing luster emanating from peach-gold surfaces. A few minor contacts preclude Gem status. Census: 7 in 64, 1 finer (3/09).
