1904 $20 Liberty Head Double Eagle PCGS MS62

Here's a very affordable option for a type coin in the ever-popular Liberty head double eagle series. "The 1904 is by far the most common date in the Liberty Head Double Eagle series,” writes David Akers, “and it is also one of the commonest of all twenties along with the 1908 No Motto, 1924 and 1927. The 1904 is available in large quantities and a great many choice, gem and even superb examples exist." That is why it is such an affordable option for you to add to your collection as a type coin! PCGS has graded 74,761 as MS62 with 78,868 finer. Collectors Universe has given this issue a price of $2,600.00 in MS62.
