The respectable mintage of 727,000 double eagles struck at the San Francisco facility in 1881 circulated widely leaving the average survivor in the VF-XF range. This handsome and affordable uncirculated survivor sits just before examples become truly elusive with a big price jump for MS63 pieces. Visually and technically strong for the grade, the striking detail is sharp and the luster rich and frosty with an appreciable prooflike glow in the sheltered areas. Pleasing apricot-gold coloration spans both sides creating an overall appearance that is sure to please! - Liberty Head $20
