1913

Owner Comments:

The 1913 is an extremely tough date, especially in grades above MS-62. Most 1913 Philadelphia issues, exhibit a softer strike, weaker luster, and a somewhat flat appearance. This coin has a thick original skin which masks the luster somwhat (but at least this coin hasn't been dipped to oblivion), but what really caught my eye on this coin was the strike. The coin is fairly well-struck, with strong details in Liberty's face and hands. In many examples of 1913 double eagles I've seen, the face looks somewhat deformed due to the weakness of the strike. Overall, this is a fairly nice example for the grade, and a grade which makes this coin much more affordable for the average collector.
