Description

Elusive 1910-S Gem Double Eagle

1910-S $20 MS65 NGC. Frosty and bright, with blazing orange-gold luster. An elusive issue in full Gem, as most seen are in much lower grades. The vast majority were melted into bricks for convenient storage at Fort Knox, making the reported mintages virtually irrelevant for this series. The present piece has a well preserved obverse and a few distributed small marks on the reverse. Sharp definition is noted on the design elements, including Liberty's face, fingers, and toes and the leaves on the olive branch; portions of the Capitol building reveal minor weakness. Census: 66 in 65, 6 finer (11/05).
