Lot Description

Gorgeous golden-apricot surfaces are exceptionally smooth for this San Francisco Mint issue. Sharply defined and highly lustrous, even the most discerning double eagle enthusiasts will be impressed with this lovely near-Gem.<p>Mintage for this issue was 930,150 pieces, down nearly 358,000 pieces from the previous year's double eagle delivery at the West Coast mint. Some 5,000 to 7,000 or more Mint State examples can be found today. This issue was somewhat scarce in the 1950s and 1960s, but recent decades have brought many from overseas back to America, and now AU and low-end Mint State pieces are plentiful. In MS-64, as here, the 1892-S $20 remains scarce from a condition standpoint.
