<B>1904 $20 MS66 PCGS.</B></I> As gold type collectors well know, the 1904 is the most frequently encountered Type Three double eagle. Primarily this is from the original mintage of 6.2 million pieces, many of which were shipped overseas, which resulted in a higher survival rate than many Type Three Libertys as well as Saint-Gaudens twenties. As such, it is widely used in gold type sets, usually in MS63 to MS65 grades. However, it is rarely encountered in MS66 condition. This is a magnificent example of the type. The surfaces are bright overall with soft, frosted mint luster, and they display an intermingling of slight rose and lilac over the primarily yellow-gold color. The unaided eye is not drawn to any single abrasion on either side of this magnificent piece.<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> James B.
