1898-S NGC MS-63, and 1899 NGC MS-63.
|
|
Samuel Robertson Gold Consignment. 1898-S features consistent medium-gold patina that cedes very subtly to slightly brighter color around Liberty’s portrait, while 1899 shows definite signs of... |

|
1898-S ANACS MS-62.
|
|
MS-62 is the perfect grade, and the coin is in the most perfect sized slab yet invented -- the old ANACS holder. Booming luster with medium gold, and just the right number of tiny ticks to merit the... |

| 583 | The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011 | $1,650.00 |
|
1898-S PCGS MS-62 (rattler).
|
|
189 are each nicely repunched. Good, hard luster dominates the eye-appeal, trivially subdued by a hint of haze here and there. |
|
| 584 | The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011 | $1,500.00 |
|
1898-S PCGS MS-62.
|
|
The cheek has the expected tiny abrasions, with the balance of the surfaces clear of marks, especially the reverse. Remnants of hazy residue may be seen in the obverse lower left quadrant. |
|
| 1203 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011 | $2,400.00 |
|
1898-S PCGS MS-64.
|
|
Lime-green iridescence provides lush eye-appeal to both sides, and is even more noticeable on the reverse as it drapes beautifully over the eagle's domain in a loving embrace. For a grade of just... |

| 937 | The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010 | $1,450.00 |
|
1898-S PCGS MS-62.
|
|
Fields are a little cleaner than expected for MS-62, although magnification reveals quite a few moderate abrasions on Liberty's portrait. A few unimportant residue stains can be seen near the lower... |
|
| 1240 | The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009 | $1,700.00 |
|
1898-S PCGS MS-63.
|
|
One of the more available issues in the double-eagle series, but an example that is a touch above average for the grade. Untroubled fields are nicely complimented by relatively clean devices and... |
|
| 1048 | The Midwest Winter Sale 2009 on 02/13/2009 | $1,175.00 |
|
1898-S NGC MS-61.
|
|
Strong mint luster is interrupted near the middle of the fields by the abrasions expected of an MS-61 grade. A depression in the lower field well left of the date is the result of a planchet flaw. |
|
| 1049 | The Midwest Winter Sale 2009 on 02/13/2009 | $1,160.00 |
|
1898-S PCGS MS-61.
|
|
Deep, russet-gold patina dominates a majority of the obverse and much of the reverse, though hints of pale gold peek through in areas. At first glance, this coin seems vastly undergraded, despite... |

| 1050 | The Midwest Winter Sale 2009 on 02/13/2009 | $1,400.00 |
|
1898-S PCGS MS-62.

Pronounced mint luster is diminished only on Liberty's cheek, which is mildly abraded. Housed in a PCGS rattler holder. |

|
1898-S PCGS MS-64.
|
|
Fantastic multi-spoked obverse mint luster activates this double-eagle as if were powered by bottled lightning. The dazzling, electric mint luster flows across both sides and animates the precisely... |

|
1898-S PCGS MS-63.
|
|
A sprinkling of flyspecks pepper star six, and a few more show up elsewhere. Lightly oxidized, yet still filled with mint luster. |
|
| 1158 | The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007 | $1,550.00 |
|
1898-S and 1900 NGC MS-62.
|
|
Despite identical grades, these coins are radically different in appearance. The 1898-S displays glistening surfaces with noticeable hints of prooflike character. This is one bright coin! The 1900,... |

|
1898-S PCGS MS-63.
|
|
This sharply struck issue emits a warm orange glow from its velvetlike surfaces. For ascription identification, a light scrape appears in the field across from Liberty's profile, and a few ticks are... |

| 1151 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2007 on 07/27/2007 | $975.00 |
|
1898-S PCGS MS-63.
|
|
The grade of this San Francisco coin is undoubtedly determined by the presence of a few stray marks on Liberty's cheek and neck, but it is nicely struck, and the velvety surfaces enchant the viewer... |
|
| 460 | The Collector's Auction on 10/20/2006 | $1,050.00 |
|
1898-S PCGS MS-63.
|
|
Rolling luster can be observed on both the obverse and reverse of this attractive Double Eagle. It is not mark free, but for an MS-63 grade, it definitely appears PQ. |
|
| 590 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2006 on 07/21/2006 | $900.00 |
|
1898-S PCGS MS-63.
|
|
The velvetlike surfaces of this Double Eagle radiate a rich yellow-gold aspect. An insignificant sprinkling of ticks, and a couple of stray contact marks and light abrasions, are mainly obscured by... |
|
| 591 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2006 on 07/21/2006 | $1,300.00 |
|
1898-S NGC MS-63+.
|
|
This coin has the luster and strike of an MS-65, unfortunately there are some bag marks that are holding it back. Its color is bright and attractive. |
|
| 592 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2006 on 07/21/2006 | $850.00 |
|
1898-S NGC MS-63.
|
|
Radiating a warm yellow-gold, this superbly struck Double Eagle has a vivid visual aspect. This minimally marked and sharply struck San Francisco issue makes it a favorable type specimen. |
|
| 1209 | The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/17/2006 | $625.00 |
|
1898-S NGC MS-62.
|
|
An amazing Double Eagle housed in an old NGC holder. The fields are semi-prooflike, and the devices are needle sharp. |
|
| 1210 | The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/17/2006 | $800.00 |
|
1898-S NGC MS-63.
|
|
A wonderful orange-gold radiance exudes from this Double Eagle's satiny surfaces. Some light ticks and abrasions precluded it from being assigned a higher grade level. Both the stars and the central... |
