Description

1895 Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-64 (PCGS).
Lustrous satin to softly frosted surfaces are sharply struck with handsome original color throughout. The mintage for the 1895 double eagle amounted to 1,114,605 circulation strikes, much of which found its way overseas in banking and other business transactions, as was customary for double eagles from that era. Some 20,000 to 30,000 or more Mint State examples of the date are extant, mainly in MS-60 to MS-63 with occasional forays into higher grades, as here. Most Uncirculated coins are from repatriations of quantities that fled the country in the mid-1890s.
PCGS# 9027. NGC ID: 26CD.
From the Fairmont Collection - CAG Set.

Estimate: $3700
