1862 TYPE 3 GOLD DOLLAR, PCGS MS64, VERY RARE DOUBLE DATE, BREEN 6073

Description

1862 Type 3 Gold Dollar
PCGS graded MS64, NFC secure.
Very rare double date, Breen 6073.
12/11/20 Research update. I have expanded my net to include 11 auction houses, dealers and grading houses with detail photos and to date have examined 570 graded photos XF40 to MS67 (Damaged, detail, and coins with blurry photos or without serial numbers have been excluded from my research). I have found photos of two of the four ANACS coins (XF40 and AU58) but have not found any other Double Date coins. {I also found a total of nine Double Die Obverse coins (two of which were not identified as such). 44 DDO coins are currently listed on the PCGS, NGC and ANACS websites.} I can only confirm the existence of three Breen 6073 double date coins, the two ANACS coins and the coin listed here.
[10/27/20 Research to date, I have only found references to 4 other Doubled Date (Breen 6073) 1862 Gold Dollars, none grading over AU58. ANACS is the only third party grader that currently recognizes this variety and has graded a single coin in each XF40, XF45, AU55 and AU58. Presently, I have looked at MS60-MS67 graded coins (PCGS,NGC,ANACS,IGC) - 400+ photos - from 3 auction houses dating back to 2007 and not found another mint state Doubled Date coin. (Photos prior to 2007 lack the quality to distinguish details of the date).]
Q.David Bowers' "A Guide Book of Gold Dollars" and Garrett and Guth's "Encyclopedia of U.S. Gold Coins 1795-1933", make reference to the Doubled Date and the Double Die Obverse as interesting varieties, yet nothing beyond the fact that they exist.
"Walter Breens' Complete Encyclopedia Of U.S. And Colonial Coins"
states the coin is, "Very rare. Date first punched too high, then corrected lower."
