1898 $20

Description

1898 MS 62. A real sleeper and a date which is not generally recognized as being rare in mint state. A look at the PCGS Population Report, however, reveals that only fifty-two examples have been graded in mint state and that virtually all of them grade MS 62 or less (the finest is a lone MS 64). Compare this with the tens of thousands of 1904 double eagles that have been graded in mint state so far. Then, compare the meager premiums that the 1898 brings over the 1904, and you'll ask yourself, "What's wrong with this picture?"
