Description

Condition Scarcity 1898-S Gem Double Eagle

1898-S $20 MS65 NGC. The 1898-S double eagle was produced in large numbers (2.5 million pieces plus) and is consequently plentiful in Mint State grades through near-Gem. The certified population drops significantly in MS65 to make the issue scarce. Higher-grade coins are extremely rare. Potent luster exudes from the orange-gold surfaces of this Gem example, and a well executed strike brings out excellent detail on the design elements. A few unobtrusive surface and rim marks do not disturb. Census: 93 in 65, 6 finer (3/09).(Registry values: N4719)
