1885-S Liberty Twenty, MS64+
Only Two Finer Coins at PCGS

1885-S $20 MS64+ PCGS. The 1885-S Liberty double eagle claims a substantial mintage of 683,500 pieces, but few high-quality examples were saved by contemporary collectors. Most of the coins circulated heavily in the regional economy, or were used in foreign exchange, where rough shipping and storage resulted in considerable attrition. As a result, the issue is reasonably available in circulated and lower Mint State grades today, but high-grade examples are quite rare.

This Plus-graded Choice specimen offers sharply detailed design elements and vivid orange-gold surfaces that radiate vibrant mint luster and show only minor signs of contact. Overall eye appeal is terrific. Population: 35 in 64 (1 in 64+), 2 finer (2/16).(Registry values: N4719)
