Description

Low-Mintage 1898 Double Eagle, MS63
Lustrous and Sharply Struck

1898 $20 MS63 PCGS. The smallish mintage of the 1898--170,395 business strikes--is responsible for the paucity of examples graded finer than MS63 today. PCGS has certified only seven pieces in MS64 (6/10). Coruscating luster washes over the peach-gold surfaces, which show few abrasions for the grade and a bold strike. The reverse is particularly choice.(Registry values: N2998)
