Description

1897-S Liberty Head Double Eagle, MS64+
Sharp Strike, Nice Color

1897-S $20 MS64+ NGC. CAC. The 1897-S Liberty Head double eagle was produced in large numbers, but the issue circulated widely, so high grade coins are seldom encountered today. Choice specimens can be located without too much difficulty, but only 26 coins have been certified in grades above MS64 by NGC and PCGS combined (8/10). The present coin has lovely yellow-gold surfaces, accented by rose color and strong mint luster. The strike is extraordinary, with pinpoint detail on all devices. A scattering of minor abrasions , including a long scrape below the date, is consistent with the grade. The high-end status of this piece is confirmed by the plus designation.(Registry values: N2998)
