Description
1904-S Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-64 (PCGS).
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 estimated 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.
PCGS# 9046. NGC ID: 26CZ.
From the Fairmont Collection - Sussex Set.
