1896 $20 MS (PCGS#9029)

August 2023 Global Showcase Auction U.S. Coins

详细说明: 1896 Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-64+ (PCGS). CAC. A wonderfully original example dressed in a bold blend of satiny mint luster and vivid rose-orange color. Sharply struck, carefully preserved, and highly attractive. The circulation strike 1896 has a recorded mintage of 792,535 pieces, down more than one million coins from the previous year's production figure at Philadelphia. As is typical, much of the mintage was shipped overseas in business and other transactions. Mint State coins have been coming back to America's shores for decades, and our current estimate for such examples is in the range of 10,000 to 16,000 or more coins. With a generous population, the 1896 is particularly popular for Mint State type purposes, although we caution bidders that the paucity of certified Gems in MS-65 and higher grades has resulted in strong collector demand for premium quality coins in MS-64+, as here. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - Rhone Set. PCGS Population: 21; 9 finer (MS-65+ finest). CAC Stickered Population: 23; 2. The former total includes coins certified both MS-64 and MS-64+. PCGS# 9029. NGC ID: 26CF. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
