Description du lot

Here is an exceptional 1903 double eagle with pinkish-honey surfaces and a crisp strike on both sides. The luster is uniformly satiny throughout, gently cartwheeling as the coin rotates under lighting. Impressively smooth beneath a glass and delightful to examine. The 1903 is one of the lower mintage circulation strike Liberty Head double eagles from the 20th century. Only 287,270 pieces were produced, falling dramatically short of the 6.2 million that would be struck in Philadelphia the following year. Fortunately, tens of thousands of Uncirculated 1903 double eagles are available for today's collectors, though most of these are in grades of MS-64 or lower with sizeable bag marks and similar defects. This issue becomes surprisingly scarce in Gem, as such, and the present MS-65+ is among the finer known.
