FROM THE BIG CYPRESS COLLECTION This is a moderately worn example of this scarce and important Civil War date double eagle. Pale olive tinged gold color covers both sides. Aside from some minor reeding marks on the cheek and neck, the surfaces are generally problem free, showing just some minor friction lines. Dirt clings to the protected areas and the devices retain strong definition despite the use in Civil War era commerce. PCGS 6, NGC 1. The only example of this grade to sell in auction was CAC approved and sold for $5,280 in June 2020 and the current PCGS Price Guide value is $5,500. This is a very pleasing coin, one that will delight a large number of collectors looking for a pleasing example of this date. Cert. Number 40167340 PCGS # 8939
