Lot Description

Gorgeous rose-gold patina blends with lively mint luster on both sides of this sharply struck, nicely preserved example. The San Francisco Mint delivered 1,813,000 double eagles during the year, most of which were shipped overseas. Thanks to repatriations beginning in the second half of the 20th century, the Uncirculated population of this issue is generous and estimated to be in the mid four-figure range. This Choice survivor would do nicely in any Mint State set.
