One’s mind can be transported back in time and almost see and hear the guns blazing during what is termed by some as the Second American Revolution, A.K.A. the Civil War when this incredible double eagle was made/minted. A genuinely rare date Type I double eagle in true mint state, showing population statistics of only 4 in 61, 6 in 62, 1 in 63 and non finer graded by NGC. Some resubmissions are highly probably and all that’s a speculation is how few of these coins actually exist. Yours truly has not had a full mint state 1863 “Twenty” in quite some time.

Choice original surfaces with a minimal amount of surface imperfections almost leads one to conclude that this specimen, being as choice as it shows could qualify for a tad higher grade. On the reverse, a virtual select BU surface with considerable mint luster displayed. A prize for any Type I Double Eagle collector, or investor.
