Losbeschreibung

A vivid golden-apricot example with a tinge of pale pink iridescence to both sides. Central striking detail is sharp, and much of the satiny to semi-reflective finish remains. The mintage for the 1872-S double eagle amounted to 780,000 pieces. As with many issues from the era, some portion found its way into overseas banking and bullion transactions, repatriations beginning in the mid-20th century accounting for most examples in today's market. At the certified Choice AU level one would be hard pressed to improve upon the CAC-approved beauty offered here.
