Winter 2022 U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: 1864 Liberty Head Double Eagle. EF-45 (PCGS). Bold to sharp detail and warm olive-apricot color provide strong eye appeal for this scarce date Type I Liberty Head $20. Federal records report that 204,235 circulation strike double eagles were coined at the Philadelphia Mint during 1864, and due to the continued problem with hoarding -- which lasted until late December 1879 -- none were used in regular day-to-day transactions in the eastern half of the United States. It seems that many were exported, and to the extent that this happened, most were likely melted into bullion, as examples have not turned up in European bank hoards to any great extent. We estimate a surviving population of between 300 to 450 pieces, most of which grade VF or EF. This Choice Extremely Fine example has much to offer the discerning double eagle enthusiast. PCGS# 8941.
