- Choice AU 1863 Double Eagle
1863 Liberty Head Double Eagle. AU-55 (NGC).
Lustrous satin to softly frosted surfaces retain much of the original finish despite having seen light commercial use. Handsome medium golden-orange patina throughout, both sides also sport sharp to full striking detail. While the 1863 was produced in somewhat greater numbers than the 1862, it still had a low mintage of just 142,790 circulation strikes. It is the third rarest Type I double eagle from the Philadelphia Mint, with only the 1853/'2' and 1862 more difficult to obtain in all grades. With so few examples included in repatriations from European banks, and none discovered as part of the S.S. Brother Jonathantreasure, the 1863 remains a formidable rarity in Mint State. Conditionally scarce in its own right, this handsome AU would rank as a significant addition to any gold cabinet.
PCGS# 8939. NGC ID: 269P.
