Lot Description

Vivid pinkish-rose highlights blend with dominant honey-orange color on both sides of this nicely preserved example. Near-fully lustrous with virtually complete strike detail also remaining.<p>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. This is a numismatically significant coin that will enjoy strong demand among both mintmarked type collectors and series specialists.
