1905 Twenty Dollar, MS63
Scarce Issue in Mint Condition

1905 $20 MS63 PCGS. Garrett and Guth note for this issue: "Most of the coins seen have been plucked from gold shipments that have returned to the United States in recent years. The average coin grades AU-58 to MS-61. Choice examples of the date are very rare, and none are known at the gem level." This Select example splits the difference; it is clearly a desirable coin on a higher tier than the more commonly seen AU58 or MS61 pieces, yet it is not at a stratospheric price point as is seen with the few known finer examples. A blush of rose color visits wheat and orange-gold surfaces that are immensely lustrous. Strongly struck with just a few abrasions, such as those on Liberty's brow and below the chin, that preclude an even finer designation. Population: 72 in 63 (2 in 63+), 14 finer (11/21).
