Description

Spectacular 1899 Double Eagle, Gem Mint State

1899 $20 MS65 NGC. A delightful rose and yellow example of this popular type coin. There are a few minor grazes on each side, but they barely affect the captivating cartwheel luster. A faint die crack is noted around the perimeter of obverse, and passes through the date and stars. It is virtually impossible to find an 1899 double eagle finer than the present piece--PCGS has certified none finer, and NGC reports only two examples finer (6/08). Housed in an old NGC holder. (Registry values: N4719)
