Description

# 1898-S $20 Liberty Double Eagle. An exceptional San Francisco Mint gold coin from the late 19th century, this *1898-S $20 Liberty Double Eagle* represents a prized opportunity for the discerning numismatist. Struck during a pivotal era of American monetary history, this coin showcases the iconic Liberty Head design by James B. Longacre with remarkable preservation. The MS-62 CAC grade indicates a coin of significant eye appeal and minimal wear, displaying crisp mint luster and sharp design details characteristic of high-grade pre-1900 gold coinage. The San Francisco Mint issue is particularly notable for its relatively low mintage, making well-preserved specimens like this example increasingly scarce in the modern market. The coin exhibits clean surfaces with only light marks consistent with its numerical grade, maintaining strong original mint color and attractive visual quality. Numismatic Details: - Mint Location: San Francisco (S mint mark). - Metal Composition: 90% Gold, 10% Copper. - Weight: 33.436 grams. - Diameter: 34 mm. - CAC Certification: #112221901. - Condition: Mint State 62. A superb representative of late 19th-century American gold coinage, this *1898-S Double Eagle* offers collectors an opportunity to acquire a beautifully preserved piece of numismatic history. Its CAC certification further validates the coin's superior quality and eye appeal within its grade category.
