Description

Gleaming MS64 1897 Double Eagle
Minimally Abraded

1897 $20 MS64 NGC. CAC. This near-Gem double eagle was struck in the year the great Klondike Gold Rush began in Alaska's Yukon Territory. San Francisco and Philadelphia both struck generous quantities of the type in 1897, nearly 1.4 million pieces of the P-mint issue. This near-Gem example exhibits gleaming luster over peach-gold surfaces that are minimally abraded and well-struck. NGC has certified only 12 pieces finer (6/10).(Registry values: N2998)
