1896-P Liberty Head Gold Double Eagle MS62

Description
  • The Liberty Head Gold Double Eagle was minted from 1850 to 1907
  • Struck in 1896 at the Mother Mint in Philadelphia
  • Graded in stunning Mint State 62 condition
  • Absolute Rarity: Minuscule mintage of only 792,535 coins
  • Absolute Rarity occurs when a coin has such low mintage that it’s difficult to find in any condition
  • Condition Rarity: Only about 1.3% of the entire mintage is graded in Mint State 62 condition
  • Condition Rarity occurs when so few coins survive in high grades that they are difficult to find
  • Gold coins became increasingly rarer after 1933 due to Executive Order 6102, which sought to revive the American economy by recalling circulating American gold coins to be melted down
