.
NGC graded AU-50

smooth wear and attrasctive orange gold coloring typical of
New Orleans issues. Liberty' s cheek is smooth and attrac-
tive, but there is a small reeding mark below Liberty' s chin
in the field mentioned for identification purposes. Of the
original 8,000 pieces struck forthe year, about 130 are
known today.
Pop 3; 26 finer at NGC.

graded AU-53. PQ.
CAC APPROVED
. A nice frosty coin.
Scrace as a Type 1 double eagle in high grade. Although a fair
number were recovered from the SSCA shipwreck, they have all
been widly distributed into the collecting market. An impressive
example that will be quite satisfying to own. Housed in a PCGS
Gold Foil Holder.
Estimated Value .............................................. $1,500 - 1,600
