<B>1885-S $20 MS64 PCGS.</B></I> This is an extraordinary near-Gem piece with bright pinkish-gold luster and frosty surfaces. It is sharply struck and nearly mark-free. Like most San Francisco Mint double eagles of this era, nearly the entire mintage entered circulation with few saved by collectors. Most numismatists that were active at the time had no interest in mintmarks, thus these coins were not saved. There were exceptions, of course. For example, just a few years later J.M. Clapp began ordering coins every year from the different branch mints.
