1893 $20 MS64+ 认证号27611167, PCGS号9022

Purchased for $500 in December 1982 by Robert B. Perch (MD) for bullion price at the time. Later submitted 2013 to PCGS for grading, and received unusually high grade MS64+. This was most valuable coin in his collection. Gifted to son Steven Perch in December 2021. As of 1/23/2022, PCGS reports a total population of 8 examples in MS 64+ with a book value of $8,750. However, the few examples that sold fetched between $5,000-$7,000.

The 1893 is a moderately scarce date, certainly much more scarce than most of the Philadelphia Mint Liberty Heads that follow. (The 1898, 1902, 1905 and 1906 are really the only exceptions.) A large percentage of the known examples of this date are uncirculated but, of course, EF and AU specimens are also known. Most of the uncs are heavily bagmarked MS-60 coins and so choice and gem quality pieces, especially the latter, are seldom encountered. This is yet another date that used to be rare in Unc. until substantial quantities were discovered in Europe in the 1960's.
