- Top Pop 1898 Double Eagle
1898 Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-64+ (PCGS).
Rich lustrous surfaces showcase beautiful orange-apricot color color. This near-Gem features exceptional eye appeal for both the issue and the type, and it is an absolute delight to behold in every way.
Just 170,395 examples of the date were struck, a paltry sum in light of the mintages of other Philadelphia Mint double eagles of the era. Though not considered a rarity in the classic sense, the date is anything but common in mid-to-high Mint State grades. Indeed, the present MS-64+ example is tied for finest certified by PCGS, no mean feat in itself. Perhaps you enjoy the double eagle series as a whole, or perhaps you are simply on the lookout for a suitable example of the denomination for your type collection. Either way, the present beauty is both a condition rarity as well as a scarce date, and should see spirited bidding activity as a result.
Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - JBR Set.
PCGS Population: 2; 0 finer.
