# 1898-S $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle - CAC MS-62. This stunning San Francisco Mint Liberty Gold Double Eagle represents a captivating example of late 19th-century American gold coinage. Struck during a pivotal era of economic expansion, the 1898-S $20 gold piece showcases the classic Liberty Head design by James B. Longacre, with crisp, well-preserved details that speak to its remarkable state of preservation. The coin exhibits exceptional eye appeal for its assigned grade, with lustrous surfaces displaying subtle golden-orange and honey-toned highlights. Minor abrasions are consistent with the *MS-62* designation, though the strike remains sharp and the design elements retain impressive clarity. The CAC certification confirms the coin's superior quality within its grade level, making it a desirable addition to both type collectors and specialized gold coin enthusiasts. Key Details: - Mint: San Francisco (S mint mark). - Year: 1898. - Denomination: $20 Double Eagle. - Metal: 90% Gold. - Grade: *PCGS MS-62*. - CAC Certified. - Certificate Number: 547555997.
