1891-S $20 MS64 PCGS. Despite a relatively high mintag
<B>1891-S $20 MS64 PCGS.</B></I> Despite a relatively high mintage of 1.2 million coins, the 1891-S double eagle is difficult to locate in near-Gem condition and virtually impossible to find in Gem state. Many of the coins saw action in commerce, not only in the United States, but also throughout Europe and South America. As a result, most surviving coins of this issue show signs of rough handling and often display surfaces that are riddled with bagmarks. Extensive traveling will do that to large gold coins! The present example is one of only 66 pieces that PCGS has graded at the MS64 level, and not a single coin has been awarded a higher numerical grade (4/07). This is an exceptionally attractive coin, and a twenty that is clearly at the upper-end of the MS64 grade. Smooth mint frost covers each side and the striking details are fully brought up on both obverse and reverse.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
