Description
1932 Indian Eagle. MS-66 (PCGS).
Soft pinkish hues mingle with the golden-apricot coloration throughout this exceptional Gem. The luster is uniform and frosty, remaining nicely undisturbed under magnification. Sharply struck and exceptionally smooth throughout. The penultimate year for the denomination and for circulating gold of all denominations, the 1932 eagle is the most available of the later issues. A rather staggering mintage of 4,463,000 pieces were struck this year, but most were soon melted and doubtless only a fraction survive today. A considerable number of coins are known in Mint State, though almost all are below Gem. This upper end MS-66 example is a scarce and significant offering, a standout example destined for an advanced gold type set or Indian eagle collection.
PCGS# 8884. NGC ID: 28HB.
From the George Schwenk Collection. Earlier ex Hansen Collection; our Winter 2022 Auction, November, lot 5104.
