Liberty Double Eagles
1897-S $20 MS64+ PCGS. Several of the San Francisco Mint late-series Liberty Head twenties are challenging in high grades, and the 1897-S is among them. Heavily exported and often bagmarked, the issue is readily available up to the near-Gem level but it is scarce-to-rare any finer. This lustrous, frosted example shows remarkably unabraded fields and a needle-sharp strike. Lovely green-gold coloration adds to the appeal. Population: 54 in 64+, 14 finer (2/17).
