详细说明

Unlike most 1900-1907 double eagles, the 1902 is a VERY RARE issue with an original mintage of only 31,140 pieces. Extremely RARE any finer than MS63+, this GEM is among the absolute FINEST KNOWN! Ultra high end surfaces truly are magnificent! In fact, if this coin was one of the common 1900 or 1904 Philly mint twenties, it would not shock us if this coin was graded higher. Full, radiant mint luster blooms all over with a bold, satiny brilliance. The devices are handsomely impressed from a forceful, exacting blow from the dies. A scattering of the most microscopic ticks are noted for the sake of full accuracy, but they do not have any negative effect on the eye appeal and none stand out on their own. The medium hue of gold has some lighter golden accents that are fantastic. The devices are frosty and smooth. Magnificent and ultra high end quality screams loudly--not only is the eye appeal SUPERB for the grade, but the technical qualities are AMAZING! PCGS 10, NGC 3, CAC 3. There are three examples in MS64+ and just a single MS66 finer. We believe that there is duplication even with the tiny pops, at the 64/64+ levels. None of the 3 MS64+s have ever sold in auction. The most recent MS64 PCGS/CAC sold in the 2018 Central States auction for $54,000, a record for the date. We do not doubt this impressive GEM will surpass that amount. The MS66 is in the D.L. Hansen Collection, and will likely not come up for sale anytime soon. If you are working on a collection of the FINEST double eagles, this is certainly among them and will see a very strong price when it crosses the block! We could see a record price here! Cert.
