    If you had not bought that beautiful coin, I was about to
    pull the trigger on that one from LW. It is just a lovely coin.
    well done.image

    That coin is a 64 all day long. The PL field just make it look
    extraordinary.

    Great looking coin.

    I too was thinking 64 all day long.

    Congrats, it looks great!!!

    Nice looking coin with very few marks. I am not sure that NGC would designate the coin PL due to the "patches" of non reflective luster, especially on the obverse, but it may be the lighting.
  • bestclser1bestclser1 Posts: 5,566 ✭✭✭
    PCGS did NOT designate the coin as prooflike,however the contrast is wonderful,lustrous and amazing pop for a $20 Lib.Mike Printz images of course.His pics are as good as anybodys in my opinion.Also very clean and PQ for a 64.image

    I have to agree it's a great 64++ coin based on those clean surfaces.
    Nice pick up. Doesn't look any different than pics of $20's in 65 holders. The cheek is hard to pick up on this one, but if clean, you have a nice high end piece there.

    I absolutely love it. The $20.00 is a majestic looking coin, but it is normally seen so beat up and abused with nicks, ticks, gouges and the like. The series doesn't have a middle ground. Either the coin is beautiful or it is beat to hell.

    That is one of the best $20 libs I have seen. At least photos anyway. Sounds like it is just as nice in hand. Congrats.

    I find it interesting to note that there seem to be more proof like 1904 $20 Libs than for any other year. Anyone know why?
  • BloodManBloodMan Posts: 1,836 ✭✭✭✭✭
    1904 Double Eagles are overwhelmingly the most common date in the Liberty series. The frequency of encountering a prooflike 1904 $20 among other coins of that date is relatively low. NGC has designated 481 $20’s as PL or DPL compared with 171412 non-PL, which represents 0.28% receiving the designation. The primary reason for the seemingly high number of PL 1904’s is due to the general abundance of that date. Keep in mind that many PL coins still reside in PCGS and early NGC holders.

    That is a gorgeous coin...and a 64 all day long too. image Very nice!

    Thanks. I have a few, though some are in lower tier TPG slabs. Actually one in a SEGS is more prooflike than another in a NGC holder. I suspect there are a lot more out there that are not included in the pop reports.
