Intriguing PR53 1884 Double Eagle

1884 $20 PR53 NGC. Like the other proof-only issues in the Liberty double eagle series, the 1884 enjoys immense popularity that overwhelms today's limited supply. Garrett and Guth, in their Encyclopedia of U.S. Gold Coins, suggest that "there are only 15 to 20 specimens in private hands." Though the present example shows slight impairment, most likely from time spent in circulation, the coin retains glimpses of the green-gold mirrors that suggest its former glory, as well as the bold design definition that reinforces its proof status. Scattered contact marks and modest wear contribute to the grade.(Registry values: P9)
