Description

1903 Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-65+ (PCGS). CAC.

Here is an exceptional 1903 double eagle with honey-gold surfaces and a remarkable strike on both sides. The luster is uniformly satiny throughout, gently cartwheeling behind a dusting of original apricot patina. Incredibly smooth beneath a glass and delightful to examine. The 1903 is one of the lower mintage circulation strike Liberty Head double eagles from the 20th century with only 287,270 pieces produced. Fortunately, ten of thousands of Uncirculated 1903 double eagles are available for today's collectors, though most of these are in grades of MS-64 or lower with bag marks and similar defects. This issue becomes surprisingly scarce in Gem, and the present MS-65+ is among the finer known.

PCGS# 9043. NGC ID: 26CW.

From the Fairmont Collection - Mont Blanc Set.

Estimate: $5000
