PCGS 1855 MS 60. An unusually bright example of this early double eagle. Untoned and struck in a rich, yellow-gold color. The obverse has some prooflike tendencies while the reverse is mostly satiny. Well struck. This is the first example to have been graded in mint state by PCGS, and is so new that it did not appear on the 4/94 Population Report.
