1894-S Liberty Head Eagle. AU-58 (PCGS). CAC.

With nearly full mint luster and sharp striking detail throughout, this handsome honey-rose example is sure to attract spirited bidding at auction. The 1894-S is the first in a trio of consecutively dated San Francisco Mint eagles that are scarce to rare in Uncirculated condition. In fact, this is one of the rarest Liberty Head issues from the 1890s irrespective of issuing mint, and not only because the mintage is just 25,000 pieces. The 1894-S eagle has remained elusive in overseas finds, and what few examples have been repatriated from foreign bank hoards over the years are usually in circulated grades. This is one of the finest certified coins in that category, and it is conditionally rare in its own right.
