Mintage of 95,320 pieces. This is a genuinely pleasing and notable Gem that sits at the high end of the census for graded 1914 double eagles. A gleaming, variegated mixture of orange-gold to bright yellow-gold patina over each side greets the avid connoisseur, and is, perhaps, this coin's chief feature. The strike is extra sharp on both sides with consistent definition on the torch, Liberty's face, the branch, and the sometimes weak cluster of oak leaves below the date. The surfaces are frosty and virtually unmarked with a smooth, matte-like brilliance. Do not overlook the fact that this is an exceedingly rare example in Mint State 65 condition.
