Description

1928 Double Eagle, MS67+ CAC
Incredible Quality, None Finer

1928 $20 MS67+ PCGS. CAC. The large mintage of the 1928 Philadelphia double eagles approached 9 million pieces, nearly as large as the very large combined productions at San Francisco and Philadelphia of the 1904 Liberty Head twenties, a couple of decades previously. In the year before the great stock market crash of 1929, everyone thought the market would continue to rise indefinitely. The 1928 is the latest-dated double eagle that can be obtained inexpensively, relatively speaking, and many thousands of examples survive from the hoards that at one time were scattered around the country and overseas. Bold two-toned orange-gold and honey-gold luster radiates from both sides amid a remarkable lack of mentionable contact and fantastic eye appeal. The incredible technical and aesthetic qualities of this piece are, notably, recognized both by PCGS and CAC for excellence. PCGS Population: 144 in 67 (13 in 67+), 0 finer (8/25).
