1890-S Double Eagle, MS65
Rare Any Finer

1890-S $20 MS65 PCGS Secure. Mint records indicate 802,750 double eagles were struck at the San Francisco Mint in 1890, a much larger production total than those of other U.S. Mints during that time frame. The San Francisco coins were released into circulation and used to settle large accounts in both foreign and domestic trade. There was little numismatic interest in large denomination gold coins at the time, so few high-quality examples were saved by contemporary collectors. Today, the 1890-S is usually seen in circulated condition or heavily marked lower Mint State grades. The 1890-S is seldom seen in MS65 condition, and finer coins are rare.

This spectacular Gem exhibits razor-sharp definition on all design elements and the well-preserved apricot-gold surfaces show no mentionable distractions. Vibrant mint luster augments the terrific overall eye appeal. Population: 17 in 65 (6 in 65+), 2 finer (7/18).(Registry values: N1)
