Appealing 1852 Double Eagle Repunched Date Tied for Finest Certified 1852 Liberty Head Double Eagle. FS-301. Repunched Date. MS-63 (PCGS). This Mint State rarity ranks among the finest certified survivors of a dramatic variety. Fully struck with razor sharp detail, both sides exhibit a hard satin texture to lustrous surfaces. The overall appearance is very nice for the assigned grade level, especially for a Type I Liberty Head twenty. The strong eye appeal is enhanced by handsome color that confirms the coin's originality. While the vast majority of 1852 double eagles extant were struck from "perfect" date dies, a small number of pieces are known with bold repunching to all four digits in the date. The underdigits are all evident to the north of the primary digits, and their remnants are clear enough to make this a naked eye variety. In fact, the 1852 FS-301 is one of the boldest varieties of the era and is very desirable. The offered coin is one of very few Mint State survivors known, and only the third that we have handled in recent memory. It sits atop the PCGS Population Reportfor the attribution, and it is an extremely important offering for advanced double eagle collectors and variety specialists.
