Description

1895-S Twenty, Vibrant MS65
An Important Condition Rarity

1895-S $20 MS65 PCGS. The 1895-S double eagle is easily located through MS63, after which the population takes a significant drop. The issue becomes an important condition rarity in MS65 where only 17 coins have been certified by PCGS and NGC and a solitary piece finer (an NGC MS66). The current MS65 example displays vibrant luster emanating from yellow-gold surfaces imbued with traces of apricot. The design features are sharply defined, including Liberty's hair strands, the star centers, and the eagle's plumage. A few minute marks are within the confines of the grade designation. Population: 9 in 65, 0 finer (10/14).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 26CE, PCGS# 9028, Greysheet# 9956)

Weight: 33.44 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
