Incredibly lustrous, boldly struck, and amazingly beautiful even after having been at the mercy of the Atlantic Ocean for well over a century! The deep golden surfaces enjoy robust cartwheel activity and glimpses of rich peach iridescence here and there. Nitpickers beware – you won’t find much here to hang your hat on. The popular variety with diagonal “spikes” in the field at the lower left of the reverse shield. Absolutely choice at every level, this beautiful double eagle represents a forever link to one of America’s greatest maritime tragedies that just happened, through extreme misfortune, to become one of America’s greatest treasure troves.
