Description

1897 Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-64 (PCGS).

Frosty rose-gold surfaces are sharply to fully struck with very smooth surfaces for the issue. The Philadelphia Mint produced 1,383,175 double eagles in 1897, up 590,000+ pieces from the preceding year. Much of the mintage was used in overseas transactions. We estimate that 17,500 to 22,500 or more Mint State examples of this issue are extant, most of which have been repatriated in recent decades, and many of which are clustered in the MS-60 to MS-62 range. As alluded to above, this beautiful MS-64 is scarce from a condition standpoint and represents a significant find for the discerning gold enthusiast.

PCGS# 9031. NGC ID: 26CH.

From the Fairmont Collection - CBL Set.
