Description

1853 MS 60. A very choice and attractive example of a date that is common in circulated grades, but which has proven to be exceptionally scarce in mint state, despite a mintage of almost 1.3 million pieces. The example we offer here is very well struck. What really stands out on this coin are the surfaces, which are exceptionally clean and free of the excessive bagmarking that is seen so often on early double eagles. This is one of the most appealing examples of this date we have encountered, and we are sure the bidders on this lot will be just as excited.
