Description
# 1898-S $20 Gold Double Eagle - CAC MS-62. An exceptional example of a late 19th-century San Francisco Mint gold double eagle, this 1898-S Liberty Head $20 gold piece represents a significant opportunity for the discerning numismatist. Struck during a pivotal era of American monetary history, this coin showcases the classic Liberty Head design by James B. Longacre at the height of the gold coinage period. The specimen presents with remarkable preservation for its grade, featuring sharp mint luster and minimal marks typical of a MS-62 designation. The CAC certification (Certificate #011879160) confirms the coin's superior quality within its grade range, representing a premium example of this sought-after San Francisco issue. Surface details remain crisp, with golden-orange coloration that speaks to the coin's original mint state. Mintage details for the 1898-S $20 gold double eagle were relatively limited, with only 470,000 pieces produced, making this an increasingly scarce numismatic artifact. The coin serves as an excellent representation of the Pre-1933 U.S. gold coinage era, embodying both historical significance and collectible value. Its preservation ensures it will be a distinguished addition to any serious gold coin collection or investment portfolio. Grading Specifics: - *Mint State 62* by CAC. - Minimal contact marks. - Strong cartwheel luster. - Exceptional eye appeal for grade
