Description

Scintillating 1899-S Double Eagle, MS62 Prooflike

1899-S $20 MS62 Prooflike NGC. With just over 2 million examples struck, the 1899-S has an appreciable population of certified Prooflike pieces, though such coins represent only a tiny fraction of the original mintage. This gleaming yellow-gold piece exhibits excellent reflectivity on each side and crisp detail, though the obverse shows a number of scattered abrasions that account for the grade. Census: 5 in 62 Prooflike, 7 finer (8/07).

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 26CN, PCGS# 79036)

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
Weight: 33.44 grams
AGW: 0.9675oz
