Lovely 1913-S Double Eagle, Choice Mint State

1913-S $20 MS64 PCGS. Bowers (2004) writes that "the 1913-S is very scarce in Mint State in relation to the intense demand for them. The enticingly low mintage, second only to the 1908-S among Type 6 twenties, has added to the popularity." As the population data reflects, it would be challenging to locate an example finer than the present coin. Medium-yellow patina embraces both sides of this lustrous near-Gem. The strike is bold, and there are no detracting marks. However, two small grease spots (as made) are noted. NGC and PCGS combined report just 28 examples finer (6/09).(Registry values: N4719)
