A popular Civil War date and one of the scarcest Philadelphia Mint Type-1 double eagles. This is a well detailed example with original lustrous surfaces.

High R-7. The obverse die is from the Seated Liberty design used for regular-issue coinage in 1863. The reverse features the standard perched eagle motif with the addition of a scroll with the motto IN GOD WE TRUST inscribed. Struck in silver with a reeded edge.  None have graded finer at either service.

Bold inks stand out against bright premium paper. The full borders are balanced much nicer than one would expect for the grade.

A beautiful virtually new note that exhibits more than ample borders, vivid color, and white paper. Eye appeal is excellent!

Well struck and lustrous with nice problem-free surfaces.

Bright lustrous copper-nickel tan surfaces. Sharply struck and problem-free.

A pleasing example of this scarce issue which saw a mintage of just 6,200 coins.  This piece exhibits rich, original gold color with warm honey and light orange highlights, complemented by strong cartwheel luster across both sides. Liberty’s portrait is crisply detailed, with excellent definition to the headdress feathers, hair strands, and facial features, reflecting […]

R-5. Similar to the regular issue dies, except the motto GOD OUR TRUST is set directly into the field without a scroll above the eagle. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. This is a lovely example with a gorgeous turquoise tint when tilted under a light.

R-3. Regular issue dies with a plain edge, but struck in bronze rather than the regular issue copper-nickel. Thin planchet variety struck with medallic alignment. This was the Mint’s first time to experiment with bronze. This sharply struck example blends a considerable amount of mint red with soft brown toning.
