1892 Near-Gem Double Eagle
One of Three Finest PCGS-Certified

1892 $20 MS64 PCGS. The 1892 double eagle, coming from a sparse circulation strike mintage of 4,430 pieces, is scarce in all grades and is considered to be a key date in the series. Garrett and Guth sum up the appeal of this business strike: "Of those minted, just 150 to 200 coins remain. Many of the great collections assembled in the past did not have an example of a circulation-strike 1892 double eagle. The date was usually represented by Proof examples."
The 1892 is very rare in Mint State. PCGS and NGC have certified roughly 60 Uncirculated examples, some of which are undoubtedly resubmitted or crossover coins. The present near-Gem is among the finest PCGS-certified specimens. Peach-gold patination laced with hints of mint-green rests on its lustrous surfaces, and a solid strike leaves bold detail on the design elements. A couple of obverse marks keep this piece from full Gem. Population: 3 in 64, 0 finer (11/11).(Registry values: N7079)
