Losbeschreibung

A well defined, overall sharply struck example with lovely golden-apricot color on choice surfaces. The 1926-S is much rarer than a generous mintage of 2,041,500 pieces might imply. Most examples were never released into commercial channels, and remained in storage until destroyed on government order in 1937. Most of the 1,500 or so Mint State survivors represent coins that were used in international commerce and were subsequently repatriated from foreign bank hoards beginning in the 1950s. This is an inviting near-Gem example that will be a very nice addition to an advanced double eagle cabinet.
