Gorgeous Gem 1895 Double Eagle

1895 $20 MS65 PCGS. Due to the generous mintage of more than 1.1 million examples and the subsequent exportation and repatriation of many examples, today the 1895 double eagle is a common date up to the lower reaches of Mint State, generally MS62-MS63 or so at best. Examples in Choice or Gem condition, such as the present piece, are extremely elusive. This example is well-deserving of the grade, with gorgeous original skin, orange-gold patina on both sides complementing tinges of greenish-gold near the rims. Abundant luster, a bold strike, and few mentionable abrasions complete the package. Population: 2 in 65, 0 finer (3/09).(Registry values: N4719)
