Liberty Double Eagles
1902-S $20 MS64 PCGS. It would be easy to underestimate the scarcity of the 1902-S in high grades, given its mintage of 1.7 million coins. However, Choice Uncirculated examples are very scarce, while finer pieces prove extremely rare. Honey-gold color dominates each side with complementary glints of green and rose along with swirling mint frost. Well-struck despite a couple of indistinct star radials. We have only offered a handful of comparable pieces and a single Gem in nearly a quarter century. Population: 80 in 64 (7 in 64+), 6 finer (6/17).
