Splendid 1891-S Double Eagle, MS63

1891-S $20 MS63 PCGS. Most 1891-S double eagles are seen heavily abraded, but this example shows only light grazes in the obverse field, which is coupled with a minutely abraded reverse. The hair shows particularly sharp definition, but the rest of the details are nearly as nice. Lovely yellow-gold patina covers the lightly frosted and lustrous surfaces. An excellent, better grade example of this issue.(Registry values: N2998)
