Lot 1817
1894 $20 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-64. Lovely golden toning and a choice one from a group of MS63 and MS64 twenties consigned by a gentleman from the Southwest.
The Double Eagles of 1850 to 1933, whose net gold content is .9675 of an ounce, actually weigh more than an ounce when you factor in 10% copper alloy make them durable in circulation, limiting damage. At the time they were current the gold "standard" equated to $20.67 per ounce in today's reckoning (PCGS # 9025) .
Estimated Value $2,200 - 2,300.
