Lot Description

An attractive example with warm rose and apricot-gold highlights to both sides. The Philadelphia Mint is the only coinage facility that struck double eagles in 1912, comprised of a circulation strike delivery of just 149,750 coins. While several small hoards have been discovered in Europe beginning in the late 1960s, this issue remains scarce in all uncirculated grades and is infrequently offered any finer than MS-63.
