US 20 Dollars 1898 Liberty Head

Lot 1076 $20 Gold 1898-S $20 Liberty. NGC graded MS-65. Although a common date in lower grades of mint state, in full gem condtion as seen here, this date is quite rare. NGC has graded 58 this high, and just 2 are graded higher by that service, while PCGS reports only 18 this high, with a single coin graded higher. Note that the devices are fully struck by the dies, and the coin boasts mint fresh luster throughout. A few tiny ticks from handling, including one small mark on her chin. As close to perfection as one can hope to find. Estimated Value $6,000 - 7,000.
