Lot Description

Mint records indicate that 920,750 double eagles were produced at the San Francisco facility during 1867. As is typical of double eagles produced at this mint, they were heavily used in day-to-day transactions on the Pacific Coast, something completely opposite to the situation that prevailed in the eastern half of the United States, where precious metal coins were extensively hoarded and most transactions were conducted using paper money. The offered example is attractive at the Choice EF level with honey-orange color to surfaces that retain flickers of original mint luster.
