Description

1898 Double Eagle, MS64
Unimprovable Quality

1898 $20 MS64 NGC. The 1898 double eagle (170,395 coins) is seldom seen above MS62, and in near-Gem it is rare. NGC and PCGS combined report 52 grading events at the Choice Uncirculated level, a figure no doubt inflated by resubmissions and crossovers. Neither service has seen any numerically finer (9/22). Exquisite definition is visible on the design elements, especially Liberty's hair, and the lustrous, peach-gold surfaces are minimally abraded. Two milling marks on Liberty's neck identify the piece. Eye appeal is fantastic.
