Lot Description

Intensely lustrous satin to softly frosted surfaces are further adorned with vivid golden-rose patina. Virtually full in strike, and expectably smooth for the assigned grade. The 1906-S double eagle has a mintage of 2,065,750 pieces ($41,415,000 face value). Most were exported, repatriations in recent decades bringing the Mint State population into the mid to high four-figure range. This is an above average example from the standpoint of surface preservation, and it is sure to see spirited bidding at auction.
