Exceptionally vivid surfaces exhibit blended pinkish-gold and orange-apricot colors as well as full, satiny mint luster. Fully struck, and representing a significant find for quality conscious gold type and date collectors. Produced in sizeable numbers (1,718,740 circulation strikes) with many coins repatriated from foreign bank hoards, the 1901 is one of the more popular Mint State type candidates from the Motto portion of the Liberty Head eagle series. Superb Gems such as this, however, are rare from a condition standpoint.
