1891 Double Eagle, AU55
Only 1,390 Coins Struck

1891 $20 AU55 NGC. After minuscule production totals through the early-to-mid-1880s, Philadelphia double eagle output rebounded in 1888. It fell again to modest levels in 1889 and 1890 before plummeting once more in 1891, when only 1,390 coins were manufactured in circulation-strike format. Although not specially made, they were all struck from freshly polished dies. The degree of contrast seen here between the fields and devices is not uncommon for the issue. Yellow-gold surfaces exhibit strong detail. Tiny marks are scattered over each side. Census: 11 in 55, 19 finer (6/23).(Registry values: N4719)
