1897 Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-63 (PCGS).

Blushes of rose iridescence mingle with dominant golden-orange patina on both sides of this richly original example. The Philadelphia Mint produced 1,383,175 double eagles in 1897. We estimate that 15,000 to 22,500 or more Mint State examples of this issue are extant, most of which have been repatriated in recent decades, and many of which are clustered in the MS-60 to MS-62 range. This above average Choice example would do equally well in a type or date set.

PCGS# 9031. NGC ID: 26CH.
