1895-S Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-63 PL (PCGS).

Splendid honey-olive and deep orange patina blankets both sides of this sharply struck example. Otherwise satiny in finish, both sides exhibit pronounced reflectivity in the fields that given this coin the distinction of being the first 1895-S double eagle certified in the PL category at PCGS. Mintage for this issue was 1,143,500 pieces, much of which went overseas in business and banking transactions. Many of these coins have been repatriated in the past few decades, explaining our estimate of 7,000 to 12,000+ Uncirculated coins extant.
