1867 Double Eagle

The 1867 is the second most common Type Two Double Eagle struck at the Philadelphia Mint during the 1860’s.
The 1867 Double Eagles are among the best struck Type Two Double Eagles of any date. Most examples show very sharp strikes with just a bit of weakness on the hair of Liberty. The surfaces are almost always very extensively abraded with deep marks concentrated at the center of the obverse and in the fields. It is not unusual for examples of this date to have mint-made faults such as coppery spots or long black streaks in the planchet.
1867 Double Eagle: Luster, Color & Proof Rarity Rankings
The luster on most 1867 Double Eagles is excellent with a rich, very frosty texture. The typical coloration ranges from bright rose to green-gold and orange. It is possible to find a very attractive example of this date, although most of the coins with really good luster and color will show excessive marks. Coins with minimal marks command strong premiums.
No significant die varieties are known to exist.
While a total of 50 Proof 1867 Double Eagles were struck, it is very possible that as many as half of these were melted or went unsold. Today, this is an extremely rare date as a Proof with an estimated population of 10-12 coins.
