Memorable Gem 1898-S Double Eagle

1898-S $20 MS65 NGC. The San Francisco Mint Liberty Head coins from the late 1890s are memorable productions, and the most famous collection ever assembled, that of Louis E. Eliasberg, Sr., had some incredible examples (including a couple that are in the present sale). This coin, while not from the Eliasberg Collection, is no slouch in Gem condition. Rich cartwheel luster and pristine surfaces on both sides are its hallmarks, with outstanding green-gold and orange-gold tinges alternating. Census: 95 in 65, 6 finer (11/09).
