Description

Elusive Gem 1914 Double Eagle

1914 $20 MS65 NGC. The 1914 double eagle is an issue that is generally available in the lower Mint State grades. Most certified examples, however, average only about MS62 or a bit finer. While Choice Mint State pieces can be occasionally found, Gem coins are rare and elusive, and anything above is seldom seen. The present MS65 piece boasts pretty peach-gold color, with lots of flashy luster present and a sharp strike, as usual for this well-produced issue. Perusal with a loupe fails to locate any marks of relevance; rather, it serves only to reinforce the initial impression of an extremely appealing piece. Census: 23 in 65, 1 finer (6/08).(Registry values: N4719)
