Double Eagle. 1921. PCGS graded MS-64. PCGS graded Mint State 64. A fantastic example of this rarity! Blazing luster radiates from the fields, the strike is full and complete. A glass will locate some minor tick marks, but most are hidden on the design elements, so the fields and devices remain far and away better than all but a single higher grade coin. PCGS has only graded 3 coins this high, with NGC awarding the MS-64 grade to only 2. With a single gem known, that makes this coin the highest available. As with the 1920-S rarity, the bulk of this date were melted in 1933, and virtually none were saved in any grade.
