Description

# 1896-S $20 Gold Double Eagle - CAC MS-62. An exceptional example of a key date gold coin from the San Francisco Mint, this 1896-S $20 Double Eagle represents a prized opportunity for the discerning numismatist. Struck during a pivotal era of American coinage, this *Liberty Head* double eagle showcases the remarkable craftsmanship of late 19th-century gold minting. The coin exhibits strong mint luster and clean surfaces characteristic of a high-grade specimen, with minimal marks typical of the MS-62 grade. The San Francisco mint issue is particularly notable for its low mintage and historical significance, making this CAC-certified example especially desirable to serious collectors. Certified with CAC approval, this piece represents a superior example of its type, meeting the highest standards of quality and eye appeal. Technical Specifications: - Mint Location: San Francisco (S mint mark). - Year: 1896. - Denomination: $20 Double Eagle. - Metal: 90% Gold. - Grading Service: CAC. - Grade: MS-62. - Certification Number: 114512997.

An outstanding addition to any advanced gold coin collection or investment portfolio.
