Lovely 1868 Double Eagle, Choice AU

1868 $20 AU55 NGC. The 1868 double eagle is a scarce piece in any grade with a relatively low mintage of 98,575 coins. Those that are seen typically exhibit numerous abrasions, and this issue is seldom seen in Uncirculated grades. Orange-gold patina across the devices contrasts nicely to the bright yellow and lustrous fields. The strike is crisp, and there are no marks worthy of specific mention. (Registry values: N1793)
