1904-S Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-64+ (PCGS). CAC.

A beautiful near-Gem that ranks among the finer examples of both the type and issue available to discerning gold collectors. Exquisite golden-apricot surfaces are adorned with lovely mint frost. The strike is bold to sharp throughout. The mintage for the 1904-S double eagle is 5,134,175 pieces, a record figure for a San Francisco Mint double eagle. Tens of thousands of Mint State examples are Estimate:d to exist, most of which have been repatriated from foreign bank hoards beginning after World War II. Although plentiful in an absolute sense the 1904-S is, like all classic U.S. Mint gold coins, a conditionally challenging issue that is scarce to rare in the finer Mint State grades. This is a superior quality MS-64+ that would serve as a highlight in an advanced cabinet.

PCGS# 9046. NGC ID: 26CZ.
