Shining 1891-S Double Eagle, MS63

1891-S $20 MS63 PCGS. This minimally abraded example shows charming yellow-gold patina on each side. Above-average detail is present on the hair, and the rest of the strike is exceptionally sharp. The reverse has minor copper spots, but none are particularly detracting. Strong surface quality for a San Francisco twenty.(Registry values: N2998)
