Description

Lustrous Gem 1900-S Twenty Dollar

1900-S $20 MS65 NGC. The 1900-S double eagle was struck to the extent of more than 2.4 million coins, and Mint State examples are quite attractive and well-made, when they are found. Gem examples are nonetheless scarce, although lower Mint State grades are available for a price. Less than a dozen Gems of this issue are certified at NGC and PCGS combined, less an unknown number of duplications, as always.
The present Gem is lustrous, with yellow-gold surfaces and some light smoke-gray accents. A couple of tiny marks on Liberty's cheek are the only mentionable abrasions. Census: 7 in 65, 2 finer (11/09).
