Nearly 1.4 million Double Eagles were produced at the Philadelphia mint in 1897 leaving uncirculated examples readily available for collectors. The present gem, however, is conditionally rare as only one example has been graded finer across all major grading services, a PCGS MS65+. A true gem boasting razor-sharp details and satiny fields. Gold-tan peripherals circle around tangerine orange centers. Radiant cartwheel luster illuminates every inch of this well-preserved gem. Wholly attractive, especially the reverse, which boasts prooflike appearance in the center. A perfect registry coin! The D.L. Hansen Collection houses the single finer example, leaving this piece the finest on the market. - Liberty Head $20
