Description

Bright 1898-S Double Eagle, MS65

1898-S $20 MS65 PCGS. The 1898-S double eagle is readily available in all grades through near-Gem. Gems are scarce and finer grade pieces are extremely rare. Bright luster exudes from peach-gold surfaces imbued with hints of light green and a decisive strike imparts sharp detail to the design features, save for the usual softness in the first few obverse stars. A few grade-consistent marks are unbothersome. Population: 74 in 65, 2 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 26CL, PCGS# 9034, GSID# 9959)

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
Weight: 33.44 grams
AGW: 0.9675oz
Mintage: 2,575,175
