1896-S Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-64+ (PCGS).
A very challenging Type 3 double eagle in this near Gem grade. While the sizable mintage and good survival in lower Mint State grades give the impression of common date status in all grades, there are fewer than two dozen graded MS-64+ or finer at PCGS. Radiant golden luster swirl boldly on this lovely coin, highlighting sharply struck devices. Excessively rare finer, this is a perfect example for a high ranking Registry Set.
PCGS# 9030. NGC ID: 26CG.
PCGS Population: 18; 4 finer (MS-67 finest).
