CAC Gold Label 1892 Twenty, MS62

1892 $20 MS62 NGC. CAC Gold Label. At just 4,430 business strikes produced, the 1892 double eagle is scarce regardless of grade. Garrett and Guth estimate that "just 150 to 200 coins remain" from the original mintage, and they further call it the "last of the low-mintage ... Philadelphia double eagles." The Smithsonian lacks the issue in circulation format, though as with several other Philadelphia dates, there is a proof in the National Numismatic Collection.
Offered here is a coin graded MS62 by NGC, though the CAC gold label suggests even finer quality. So too does examination of the surfaces, which are surprisingly smooth yellow-gold with strong luster and light patina. The overall eye appeal is suggestive of a Select coin, if not one even finer. Census: 11 in 62, 6 finer (11/10).
