Owner's Comments

Excellent Eye Appeal 1903 $20 MS65 PCGS. The 1903 double eagle had a modest mintage of just under 300,000 coins, and survivors are elusive in higher grades. For example PCGS has only certified four coins finer than this piece (1/18). Both sides have a bold strike and frosty light yellow luster with excellent eye appeal. Ex: New York Signature (Heritage, 1/2014), lot 4890.(Registry values: N2998) (NGC ID# 26CW, PCGS# 9043)

Expert Comments

David Akers (1975/88)

The 1903 is a very common date, available in quantity and in any condition desired up to gem uncirculated. Almost all 1903's are uncirculated and only the perfectionist in search of a "wonder coin" will encounter any difficulty at all with this date.
