<B>1885<$20> AU58 PCGS.</B></I> It is, indeed, a very unusual and pleasant opportunity to be able to offer one of the most elusive Liberty Double Eagles in the entire series. The 1885 has the second lowest business strike mintage--751 pieces--of any Liberty Twenty Dollar coin, next only to the 1882. From this tiny mintage, a total of 71 pieces have been certified by both services in all grades, undoubtedly, some of which are the same coins, and only 16 pieces have been certified higher than AU58 by both major grading services (03/04). The strike is sharp and the surfaces show considerable prooflike reflectivity. Numerous marks and abrasions are noted overall, the most prominent being on the eye, cheek, and neck of Liberty. <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
