November 2019 Baltimore U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: 1883-S Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-62 PL (PCGS). Highly reflective fields support smartly impressed, softly frosted design elements on both sides of this beautiful rose-gold example. There was a large production of 1,189,000 double eagles at the San Francisco Mint in 1883. Many pieces circulated extensively, others were shipped overseas in international trade, and still others were probably held in reserve for the redemption of Gold Certificates. David W. Akers, in his 1982 treatise on double eagles, reported that he found 46 auction appearances of Uncirculated examples in a survey of more than 400 major sales. This of course was in the "olden days" before large-scale importation. Q. David Bowers in his 2004 Guide Book of Double Eaglesestimated the surviving Mint State population at more than 1,000 pieces, indicating that many additional coins had come to light during the intervening years. This lovely MS-62 is finer than many that we have handled in recent sales, and as the sole PL example currently certified by PCGS, it is sure to see spirited bidding among advanced gold enthusiasts. PCGS Population: just 1 in all grades in the PL category. PCGS# 791569. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
