1889 Double Eagle PCGS MS62. From a small mintage of only 44,070 coins struck for circulation, this is a splendid uncirculated survivor. Certified by PCGS as MS-62, we consider this coin to be of very premium quality as such. While MS-62 pieces, such as this piece come to the market with some regularity, MS-63 graded coins are very rare, with a big price jump between those grades.

Type three double eagles are generally regarded to be mostly common, but this is not always the case. This issue already had a low mintage, the early 1890s brought mintages of just 1,390 double eagles in 1891 and 4,430 in 1892. As a result, a full set of type three double eagles is a remarkably challenge, which should prove to be very rewarding when it comes to selling.

Remarkably clean for the grade, the present coin has strong claims for actually being such a MS-63 coin. Full, satiny luster shows on both sides, which show an original yellow-green color. Boldly struck, the coin shows full detail on both sides. A wonderful example of this scarce issue, seldom offered in such fine state of perseveration.
