Description

1898 PR 50. Unfathomably deep mirrors characterize this lightly handled double eagle. Only 75 proofs were struck originally and survivors are very rare. We are not completely convinced this coin is a proof as it lacks one of the diagnostics--the die scratch that grazes one of the points of the 6th star--but we offer the coin for your consideration and judgement. The fields are lightly nicked from handling and there is one noticeable mark above the DOL of DOLLARS.
