Large Date. C-1. Well struck with glossy chocolate brown surfaces that display a tiny trace of red.

Over 2 million minted but very few have survived in mint state. This is a nice brilliant example with vibrant mint luster and a very sharp strike. The surfaces are quite attractive with fewer abrasions than typically encountered for the grade.

The first regular issue U.S. Double Eagle. The unique 1849 in the Smithsonian Museum is technically a pattern. This is a pleasing example with sharp detail and bright lustrous surfaces.
