Lot 895
Double Eagle. 1920-S. NGC graded MS-64. This is one of America's most acclaimed gold rarities. And clearly this is one of the very best, as only 6 have been graded this high, with a single coin graded higher! Frosty luster in the fields, with boldly struck devices and pristine, undiminished surfaces. All is graced with a delicate rosy pink color to confirm the original, untouched nature of this spectacular coin. Identifiable by a tiny nick just on the rim above the last A of AMERICA, and currently in NGC holder #225269-001.
Double Eagle mintage stopped during the war years of 1917-19, and mintage began with the 1920-S, however, most of these were later melted in the gold call in of 1933, with very few indeed being saved by collectors. There just aren't enough to go around today, and virtually none in high grades like the present coin. A fabulous opportunity!
