Owner Comments:
This was my first Type 1 Double Eagle purchase, bought before I knew anything. However, I did buy it from a very reputable dealer, even it was not really much of a bargain.
Fortunately, it is a very nice MS63 example that does not appear to be shipwreck, due to its somewhat weaker strike.
What sets this coin apart is its extraordinary color with a medium to deep orange gold, especially in the fields.
