Description
Select 1905 Liberty Head Twenty
Sought-After, Low-Mintage Issue
1905 $20 MS63 PCGS. The 1905 Liberty Head double eagle
boasts a low mintage of 58,919 pieces, sharply lower than the 1904
production total. Many coins were used in foreign trade and most
examples known today have been retrieved from overseas sources.
Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth call the 1905 "One of the most
sought-after Type 3 double eagles."The present coin is a delightful Select Mint State specimen, with bright, orange-gold surfaces and excellent mint luster. The striking details are particularly sharp on this example, with every strand of Liberty's hair crisply delineated. The overall visual appeal of this piece is stunning. Housed in an old green label holder. Population: 49 in 63, 9 finer (6/10).(Registry values: N1793)
