Writes Heritage Auctions in 2024: “The 1892 is the last ultra-low-mintage date from the Philadelphia Mint in the Liberty Head double eagle series. Examples are scarce in the upper About Uncirculated grades, and Mint State coins are especially difficult to acquire.” Please take a careful look at the photos provided of this decidedly choice AU example.
This is a rare coin. Only 4,430 pieces were struck at the Philadelphia Mint, a slight mintage indeed. The 1892 mintage would remain the lowest of any date from that point onward of the double eagle until the end of the popular series in 1933. A portion of the 4,430 mintage was shipped to overseas banks. That helps explains most of the AU and mint state 1892 twenties that we have today.
