Lot Description

Offered is a stunning, beautiful and conditionally rare example of this historic mintmarked gold issue. Vivid satin surfaces display warm medium gold color throughout, with a tinge of iridescent apricot also very much in evidence. The strike is razor sharp to full and the surfaces are exceptionally smooth for both the issue and the assigned grade.<p>The Denver Mint struck its first double eagles on April 4, 1906, and the year's mintage eventually amounted to 620,250 pieces. This is one of only two Denver Mint issues in the Liberty Head series, and it is marginally scarcer than the final year 1907-D. Most Mint State survivors have been repatriated from foreign bank hoards in recent decades, hardly any of which are as technically sound and aesthetically pleasing as this gorgeous upper end Gem. A superior specimen eagerly awaiting inclusion in a world class cabinet.
