 1926'S' Brilliant Uncirculated and approaching Choice. A desirable example of this scarce date that retains mint bloom and abundant lustre. The surfaces are pleasing although we note a minor bag scuff near the points of the rays midway in the left obverse field and a minor rim cut on the reverse adjacent to the point of the lower wing feathers. The present example is average for those that do survive, of which a reasonable estimate would be 1,250-1,750 pieces from the mintage of just over 2 million coins. As seen on prior and later branch mint Double Eagles, the entire issues were virtually wiped out, creating several significant rarities for date collectors to obtain.
