1888-S $20 MS (PCGS#9009)

The Regency Auction 36

Lot Description: What a NEAT coin! Tied for FINEST graded example for the date at PCGS, this is a remarkable, very high end, near-GEM quality example! The surfaces have only small and scattered ticks-no big scrapes or whacks. They are also pretty much hidden to the naked eye. There is no question this coin has a great original "skin" with a full "Mint bloom" luster. The reverse even shows traces of semi-prooflike mirrors. both sides are a GEM original pale gold with highlights of faint greenish gold by the rims. There are NO spots or discolorations. Miss Liberty and the details are frosty and are well struck. The eye appeal is fantastic! PCGS 63, NGC 36, CAC 9. PCGS has graded 4 in MS64+ with NONE higher. The current PCGS Price Guide value is $17,500 and the last PCGS MS64+ CAC to sell in auction brought $15,600 in the 2019 ANA auction (NOT this coin-which is slightly nicer). With NO MS65's or higher graded, this coin clearly ranks as one of the finest examples you can obtain for the date. Yet another opportunity that knows loud! Cert. Number 6746839 PCGS # 9009.00
