Rare 1895 UNC GOLD Double Eagle Exonumia JOHN WHITE Family Wedding Message!

Description

Lot #EHEX9 - This i
s 90% an actual undated UNC gold coin with the reverse in excellent condition as shown.  The obverse was professionally smoothed to a perfect shine and engraved in 1895 with a classy and wonderful message.  After all, who today sends acceptance to a wedding invitation by engraving that message onto a solid gold coin?   Mr. McAllister did.
The engraved script message on the back reads (verbatim) - "Mr. McAllister accepts with pleasure the kind invitation of Mr. and Mrs. John T. White for August 12th, 1895".
The reverse of the gold coin looks very nice as shown, with exceptional details.   The reeded edges are sound as shown.   We have never cleaned or handled it in any way other than gloved exposure for these photos.
There are no maker marks visible.
The original coin would have contained .48375 of pure gold.  The coin is 27mm as original.
It has been stored in air-tight museum conditions for the past 80+ years.
