Description
1896 Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-63+ (PCGS).
A wonderfully original example dressed in a bold blend of frosty mint luster and vivid rose-orange color. Sharply struck, carefully preserved, and highly attractive. The mintage of the 1896-S double eagle amounted to 1,403,925 pieces, up more than 260,000 coins from the previous year's total at the San Francisco Mint. Much of the mintage was exported, repatriations in recent decades swelling the Mint State population to 10,000 to 16,000 or more examples. This piece is far finer than the typical survivor in the MS-60 to MS-62 grade range, and it is sure to catch the eye of discerning bidders.
PCGS# 9029. NGC ID: 26CF.
From the Fairmont Collection - CBL Set.
