<B>1896 $20 MS65 PCGS.</B></I> Though the 1896 is considered one of the more available Type Three Liberty double eagle issues, it trades at a significant premium above type in Select and better grades. It was heavily repatriated in the 1960s and 1970s, but the vast majority of the Mint State survivors from those sources show heavy and distracting abrasions.<BR> By contrast, this sharply struck and shining Gem is a visual delight. The yellow-gold surface show subtle canary-yellow accents at the margins and just a touch of alloy near the truncation of the bust. The overall level of preservation is excellent, and the portrait is particularly clean. Tied for the finest certified by either NGC or PCGS, with just two such pieces graded by the latter firm (12/07).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> James B.
