Description

1895-S Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-64+ (PCGS). CAC.
Appealing golden-apricot surfaces are sharply struck, fully lustrous and offer outstanding eye appeal. Mintage for this issue was 1,143,500 pieces, up some 94,000+ coins from the previous year's double eagle production at the San Francisco Mint. Much of the mintage went overseas in business and banking transactions. Many of these coins have been repatriated in the past few decades, explaining our estimate of 8,000 to 12,000+ Uncirculated coins extant. Most grade no finer than MS-63, however, and the present near-Gem is decidedly scarce from a condition standpoint.
PCGS# 9028. NGC ID: 26CE.
PCGS Population: 37; 11 finer (MS-65+ finest).
From the Fairmont Collection - JBR Set.
