1892-S Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-62 (NGC).
Intensely lustrous rose-gold surfaces also offer razor sharp striking detail from the rims to the centers. By the eve of the Panic of 1893, double eagles were mostly used in foreign payments and not often seen in domestic circulation. The 1892-S issue is no exception; the majority of the 930,150 coins produced were shipped to Europe and South America. Fortunately for numismatists, many of the examples that came back to the United States after World War Two are Mint State, though bagmarked from years of being counted and recounted and moved around in large sacks. This is a premium quality Brilliant Uncirculated survivor that is sure to please.
