1902 $20 MS62 认证号35454049, PCGS号9041

Handsome deep gold patina adorns lustrous, smartly impressed features. With a mere 31,140 pieces produced, the 1902 boasts the lowest mintage of any circulation strike Liberty Head double eagle coined during the 20th century. Q. David Bowers in his 2004 Guide Book of Double Eagles gives an estimate of 1,000 to 1,500 Mint State survivors or possibly more. A comparatively scarce issue in MS-62 and higher grades, the relatively low mintage adds considerable appeal. Interestingly, most old-time numismatic collections lacked a Mint State coin for the 1902 double eagle. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection. CAC

The 1902 is a scarce date, essentially equal in terms of both population rarity and condition rarity to the 1901-S, 1905-S and 1906. It is not as rare as either the 1898 or the 1905 despite its considerably lower mintage. Most known 1902 twenties are AU, Unc., or Proof. Almost all the uncirculated specimens are only Unc-60 and choice and gem quality uncs, though known, are certainly rare.
