1906-D $20 Liberty Head Double Eagle PCGS MS64+ (CAC)

Numismatists enjoy collecting historic issues. What makes this coin a fascinating piece of numismatic history is that it was struck the first year the Denver Mint opened its doors for business. The Denver Mint struck a substantial mintage of 620,250 Liberty head double eagles in 1906. The 1906-D was a well-produced issue and examples in MS64+ condition can be a challenge to acquire. This attractive specimen exhibits sharply detailed design elements and radiant orange-gold surfaces that display only minor signs of contact. Imagine owning this piece, calling it your own.

PCGS has graded 59 as MS64+ with 33 finer. Collectors Universe gives this issue a price of $15,000.00 in MS64+. In CAC, there are 45 examples in MS64/64+ with just 4 finer.
