Spring 2023 U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: Handsome Choice Uncirculated 1878 Liberty Head $20 1878 Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-63 (PCGS). A fully struck, highly lustrous double eagle whose golden-rose surfaces are exceptionally well preserved for this issue. A swath of darker color at the right reverse is as made and represents an area of improperly mixed alloy in the planchet. Frosty, impressively smooth, and sure to sell for a nice premium. The mintage for the circulation strike 1878 double eagle is 543,625 pieces, and portions of the mintage were used in international trade, repatriations in recent decades accounting for many of the 700 to 900 or more Mint State examples that we believe can be traced today. Most of these grade MS-60 to MS-62, yet even they represent a marked increase in quality over the VF and EF examples that were used to represent the 1878 in most "old time" collections. With superior technical quality and strong visual appeal, this condition rarity MS-63 from the remarkable Fairmont holdings is sure to catch the eye of an advanced double eagle enthusiast.
