Description

Conditionally Scarce 1896-S Liberty Double Eagle, MS64 PCGS

1896-S $20 MS64 PCGS. This gorgeous example just misses the Gem grade, as it is presumably held back by just a few small surface abrasions on Liberty's cheek and neck. Otherwise, this radiant example is fully lustrous and well-struck with an above average appearance for the grade. Although a common issue in lower grades, this S-mint production is very scarce at the present grade level and is prohibitively rare any finer. Population: 83 in 64, 1 finer (9/04).(#9030) (Registry values: N2998)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 26CG, PCGS# 9030, Greysheet# 9957)

Weight: 33.44 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
