Liberty Double Eagles
1897-S $20 MS63 Prooflike NGC. Struck from fresh dies, this glittering prooflike example of the 1897-S is razor-sharp and brightly reflective. The attractive caramel-gold color is perhaps augmented by Klondike gold, which provided much of the San Francisco Mint's gold bullion in the late 1890s. Few prooflike 1897-S double eagles are recognized by NGC in any grade, but at the Select Uncirculated level just one example exists in finer certified grade. Census: 14 in 63 Prooflike, 1 finer (5/17).
