Lot 1729
1889 $20 Liberty. NGC graded MS-61. Frosty with even toning. Only 44,070 double eagles minted at Philadelphia in 1889. It seems that there was a particularly sharp gold panic in the markets that year on the East Coast, affecting the number of gold coins produced; meanwhile, San Francisco, far away from the turmoil affecting the New York money markets, kept on striking gold coins in large numbers, blissfully unaffected. This is a scarce Mint State P-mint $20 (PCGS # 9010) .
Estimated Value $1,700 - 1,800.
