Terrific Choice 1905-S Double Eagle

1905-S $20 MS64 PCGS. Despite a mintage of over 1.8 million pieces, the 1905-S presents a challenge in better Mint State grades; Garrett and Guth (2006) describes the issue as "quite scarce" in Choice, with examples of higher quality "rarely seen." This shining near-Gem displays vibrant luster and minimally marked wheat-gold surfaces with vivid sun-yellow accents. The crisply detailed portrait is particularly clean. PCGS has graded only seven finer pieces (8/07).(Registry values: N2998)
