Lot 1227
1906-S $20 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-64. Here is a frosty, bright example of this scarce date. There are minor ticks keeping it from a higher grade, and this is a function of the design of this coin, with broad fields and a rather prominent cheek on Liberty, all of which attract tick marks from bag handling or improper storage. For this reason, Liberty double eagles are very scarce in choice or better grades. To find a near gem is often challenging, and many bagmarked coins must be sorted through before a nice piece is secured. A curious condition rarity, only 80 have been so graded by PCGS, with a single coin, just one, graded higher. In PCGS holder #5781546.
Estimated Value $3,000 - 3,500.
