Lot Description

Subtle pinkish-rose highlights blend with dominant honey-gold patina on both sides of this originally preserved example. Near-fully lustrous with virtually complete strike detail also remaining. The Carson City Mint produced a mere 30,945 double eagles in 1889. Circulated survivors are relatively obtainable by Carson City Mint double eagle standards, although most are confined to lower grades than that offered here. A significant coin that will enjoy strong demand among both mintmarked type collectors and series specialists.
