1890 $20 Liberty Head Double Eagle PCGS AU58, PQ+

The true color is much closer to our pics than to the True View. I grade this coin AU58+, with the note that the reverse is fully and impressively 62 or even a touch better. Yes, there is some minor friction on the obverse, but the coin is beautiful, incredibly fresh and very flashy. Original skin completely intact and off the charts eye appeal. So...one could get a really stunning coin like this (mintage of 75,940), or a run-of-the-mill MS63 1904 (mintage of 6,256,699) for roughly the same price. Like choosing Charles Barkley for a kid's basketball team in that TV ad, that's among the easiest decisions in the history of decisions!
