Lustrous 1898-S Gem Double Eagle

1898-S $20 MS65 PCGS. The 1898-S twenty dollar, coming from a mintage of 2,575,175 pieces, is readily obtainable in grades through near-Gem, after which the population drops precipitously, as perusal of the PCGS/NGC population data indicate. A solid strike endows the design features of this Gem, and peach-gold surfaces with traces of mint-green possess intense luster. A few minute marks do not detract.
