Owner Comments:
1888-S $20 MS63 NGC. This is easily one of the most appealing 1888-S double eagles that we have seen in MS63. It is sharply struck throughout the central high points and the border stars and exhibits remarkably few abrasions for the grade, none of which are particularly noteworthy. Rich orange-gold color on the obverse complements semiprooflike fields, while the reverse displays more traditional peach and greenish-gold color with frosty fields. NGC lists only 39 finer examples of the date (3/18).(Registry values: N2998) (NGC ID# 26BU, PCGS# 9009)
