Legendary 1930-S Double Eagle, MS 63 Preservation

1930-S $20 MS 63 NGC. There do not appear to be any abrasions that would bar this frosty double eagle from a near-Gem grade. In addition to smooth features, both sides display an exactness of strike that confirms the 1930-S as one of the more carefully produced S-mint deliveries in this series. An interesting die scratch (as produced) is noted in the right obverse field, and there are several small, raised lumps within the last digit in the date. These features are diagnostic to most extant 1930-S double eagles. A heavily melted issue, the 1930-S is rarer than the 1929, 1931, 1931-D, and 1932 from the standpoint of total number of coins known. Population: 6 in 63, 7 finer (11/00).
