Description

Low Mintage 1891 Double Eagle, AU 55 PCGS

1891 $20 AU 55 PCGS. Although not the rarest P-mint issue in this series, the 1891 is more difficult to locate than the elusive 1862, 1868, 1871, and 1873 Closed 3. A boldly prooflike example, both sides are orange-gold in color with sharp striking definition that is undiminished by light rub across the highpoints. There are scattered abrasions on both sides, most of which are small and not overly distracting for a circulated double eagle. Light, mottled haziness is also noted in the fields.
