Elusive Near-Gem 1892-S Double Eagle

1892-S $20 MS64 PCGS. Highly lustrous and fully brilliant, with a glowing satiny sheen and gorgeous honey-gold toning on both sides.

A handful of small marks near Liberty's nose and mouth, and shallow luster grazes in the left obverse field, preclude a finer grade. A conditionally scarce Choice Mint State example of this San Francisco Mint issue. Population: 70 in 64, 1 finer (6/09).(Registry values: N4719)
