Garrett and Guth's "Encyclopedia of U.S. Gold Coins 1795-1933" states, "Like all Type 2 double eagles, the 1872 issue is usually found in average Very Fine or Extremely Fine condition. Coins in About Uncirculated condition can be found, but they are usually very baggy in appearance...The Philadelphia issues were not very popular several years ago [2008]. The recent interest in double eagles has revealed the true rarity of these previously ignored pieces. There are few choice examples known for the date."
Evenly worn example without significant "bag marks" or chatter.
