Description

1868 Double Eagle, AU58
Rarely Seen in Higher Grades

1868 $20 AU58 CACG. A third-year Type Two issue from a small mintage of 98,575 coins, the 1868 double eagle is scarcely seen this fine and rarely offered in higher grades. PCGS estimates fewer than 10 distinct pieces survive in Mint State. This nearly Uncirculated example enjoys rich orange-gold color and abundant swirling frost that remains on each side. Just a touch of friction shows on the strongly impressed design elements and the pleasing surfaces show the expected number of minor abrasions for the grade. This coin should find a home in a fine collection of double eagles.(Registry values: N1793)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 26A3, PCGS# 8953, Greysheet# 9805)

Weight: 33.44 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
