1904 $20 Liberty Head Double Eagle PCGS MS62

Here's a quite reasonably priced option for a type coin in the Liberty head double eagle series. David Akers writes, "The 1904 is by far the most common date in the Liberty Head Double Eagle series 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! PCGS has graded 74,761 as MS62 (yes, 74,761!) with 78,868 finer. Collectors Universe has given this issue a price of $2,600.00 in MS62.
