Description
Choice 1897-S Liberty Head Twenty
Sharp Strike, Vibrant Luster
1897-S $20 MS64 PCGS. CAC. The 1897-S double eagle is not
too difficult to locate in grades up to the Choice level, but it
becomes conditionally rare in any higher grade. Currently, PCGS has
only certified seven coins above MS64 (8/10). The present coin is
an attractive Choice specimen, with bright greenish-gold surfaces
and vibrant mint luster. The strike is razor-sharp and eye appeal
is outstanding.(Registry values: N2998)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 26CJ, PCGS# 9032, GSID# 9958)
