<B>1883-S $20 MS64 PCGS.</B></I> As with so many S-mint Type Three double eagles, this issue is common in MS62, scarce in MS63, and very rare in MS64 or finer. As of (1/08) PCGS has certified only 10 coins at the near-Gem level, with none finer; NGC has graded five with none finer. This piece displays wonderful cartwheel luster more typical of a Morgan dollar than a Liberty Head double eagle, with charming apricot-gold coloration. A few trivial contact marks on the cheek account for the grade, but elsewhere the surfaces are quite clean, and the sharp strike completes the package. A superb coin for either a type or date set.<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> James B.
