Impressive 1892 Double Eagle, MS62

Only 4,430 business strikes were minted, and most entered circulation. The average grade of certified pieces hovers around the low AU level. This specimen has satiny green-gold luster with hints of salmon toning and dark olive patina on the design high points. It is entirely original and wholesome. Only about 100 to 150 examples survive in all grades. Contemporary collectors chose proofs to represent the date, explaining the absence of high grade business strikes.
