Description

Choice 1891-S Liberty Head Twenty
Only Two Coins Certified Finer

1891-S $20 MS64 PCGS. CAC. Medium S. The 1891-S is a relatively obtainable San Francisco double eagle, but MS63 is the upper end of availability without paying a substantial premium. It is elusive in MS64, and only two Gems have been certified by a major service, both by NGC (7/10). This sharply struck example is among the finest certified by PCGS and has bright green-gold patina. Lightly abraded for the grade with eye-catching luster throughout.(Registry values: N4719)

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
