Description

1897-S Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-64+ (PCGS).
Smartly impressed with lovely mint luster, this overall smooth and appealing near-Gem is enhanced by attractive orange-apricot color. The San Francisco Mint struck 1,470,250 double eagles in 1897, much of the bullion coming from the Klondike Gold Rush that began in mid-August 1896. Much of this mintage was used in overseas transactions, repatriations from foreign bank hoards in recent decades resulting in a Mint State population of some 15,000 to 18,000+ coins. With most grading MS-60 through MS-63, this upper end near-Gem example is sure to catch the eye of quality conscious double eagle enthusiasts.
PCGS# 9032. NGC ID: 26CJ.
From the Fairmont Collection - JBR Set.
