Description

Conditionally Elusive 1895-S Double Eagle, MS64

1895-S $20 MS64 PCGS. Radiant cartwheel luster flashes across each side of this eye-catching example from the San Francisco Mint. Sharply struck on all of the design elements, with unusually clear detailing of Liberty's hair strands and of the eagle's head, wing, and tail feathers. Beautiful variations of peach and lime-gold coloration are one of this coin's strong points. Scarce at the current grade level, and rare any finer. (Registry values: N2998)
