Description du lot

Vivid orange-gold color with deeper halos at the borders, both sides also exhibit a strong mingling of softly frosted mint luster. Double eagle production at the San Francisco Mint in 1900 amounted to 2,459,500 pieces. Writing in 2004, Q. David Bowers estimated that the Mint State population might top out at more than 16,000 pieces. This is clearly one of the more readily obtainable Liberty Head double eagles, although we caution bidders that the 1900-S is scarce to rare in grades above the basal MS-63 level.
