1885 $20 MS61 NGC. In 1885, the Philadelphia Mint coin
<B>1885 $20 MS61 NGC.</B></I> In 1885, the Philadelphia Mint coined a meager 828 double eagles, a figure that includes 77 proofs, among the lowest mintage issues in the entire regular issue series of U.S. gold coinage. It is only these proofs that provides a supply of the date to collectors, keeping the price of business strikes somewhat subdued. Like nearly all others, this piece has fully prooflike surfaces with a hint of contrast between the fields and devices. Radial flowlines just inside the border on each side are the only characteristic that distinguishes this business strike specimen from the proofs. It has deep greenish-gold color with hints of orange. An attractive example, and extremely rare at this grade level. Census: 7 in 61, 4 finer (11/06).<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coin/Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
