Beautiful 1898 Twenty, MS63

1898 $20 MS63 PCGS. Bright and satiny, with fine grain, matte-like surfaces and alluring peach, rose, and green-gold coloration. A few wispy marks are noticeable on the obverse, but the reverse is remarkably clean for the grade. According to Q. David Bowers (2004): "Today the 1898 in Mint State is usually seen in MS-60 to MS-62, much less often in MS-63, and hardly ever finer." As a matter of fact, PCGS has only graded seven pieces higher, all of them at MS64 (5/08).(Registry values: N2998)
