Lot 1899
1916-S. NGC graded MS-66. Lightly toned and frosty. This is a blemish-free case in point of the desirable ’16-S Double Eagle in this grade: sleek gold in color, with mint bloom that grabs hold of the full effect of the careful preservation since it was made. Another point to ponder, this too, displays a precision strike on the legends and key devices, which is always important for the date, and not even a trace of soft detail at the eagle’s breast feathers. If, after returning from a poor day's hunting for top quality $20 gold, you observe this Lot in the sale catalog, be sure to give it a perusal. The coin’s beautiful appearance will please even the most hardened numismatist evaluator. Pop 141; 3 finer in 67 (PCGS # 9169) .
Estimated Value $4,000 - 4,500.
