Smooth MS65+ ★ 1894 Liberty Twenty

1894 $20 MS65+ ★ NGC. CAC. This is the second-highest graded business strike 1894 double eagle. Six pieces have been certified as MS65 by NGC, but only the present example has either a Star or a Plus designation, and it has both. It is exceeded by a single NGC MS67, which sold in a February 2008 Stack's auction for $63,250. While the current lot is "only" a Gem, it has moderately prooflike fields, undoubtedly the reason it received a Star from NGC. Abrasions are remarkably absent beneath a delicate coating of original olive-gold patina. The strike is precise, and Mint-made struck-in grease is limited to a few minute specks near the B in LIBERTY. While thousands of bagmarked 1894 twenties are known, those who will not settle for less than extraordinary quality need look no further.(Registry values: N4719)
