Description

1891-S Double Eagle, MS63
Bright Semiprooflike Fields

1891-S $20 MS63NGC. The 1891-S is a relatively available S-mint twenty, even in MS63. What is not available, and what will undoubtedly bring a premium, are the bright, glittering fields on each side of this coin. The fields are so close to Prooflike designation, one has to wonder if it were sent in again ... Both sides have rich reddish-golden color, and there are only a few small abrasions on the obverse that explain the grade.(Registry values: N2998)
