1884-S $20 Liberty Head Double Eagle PCGS MS62

Great type coin in the very collectible and attractive grade of MS62. PCGS graded 1,532 in that grade, with 598 finer.

In the monthly supplement of the Coin Dealer Newsletter, gold coin expert Mike Fuljenz wrote an extensive article entitled "Top 10 Reasons To Own 'S' Mint $20 Liberties." Remarking about Type Three S-mint Liberty double eagles (the With Motto pieces having TWENTY DOLLARS spelled out on the reverse) minted from 1877-S to 1907-S, Fuljenz made convincing observations about the 1884-S: "Original mintage figure is more than ten times greater than 1884-CC, yet surprisingly, the 1884-S is actually almost as rare in total number of pieces still existing. Strike is very bold. Excellent luster with frosty texture."
