Description du lot

Satiny surfaces are highly lustrous with a razor sharp strike from the rims to the centers. Rich, vivid mint color further dominates the in hand appearance and is a delight to behold. Only 75,940 double eagles were struck at the Philadelphia Mint in 1890, and portions of the mintage went overseas in banking and other business transactions. Prior to the later years of the 20th century, when examples of the issue began to return from overseas, the 1890 was not often seen in Mint State. Today, we estimate some 700 to 900 or more Mint State examples of the date exist, most at the low end of the Uncirculated range. This is a nicely composed, conditionally scarce MS-62 example to represent an interesting era in the Liberty Head double eagle series.
