August 2011 Chicago ANA - Rarities Night

详细说明: 1863 Liberty Double Eagle. MS-61 (PCGS). Outstanding radiant luster and an unusual degree of eye appeal for the grade. The surfaces exhibit some light abrasions, evenly distributed across the surfaces, but without any marks worthy of specific mention. Most pieces seen in the lowest mint state grades tend to have a somewhat rough appearance but this one seems to have far superior eye appeal, perhaps even suggestive of a higher grade. Nicely struck, and a coin that would be hard to beat for value as the few known examples in higher grades would command substantial premiums. Just under 143,000 pieces were struck, but PCGS has graded only 18 pieces in mint state across all grades. An exceptional example of this Civil War date.<br />
