Losbeschreibung

1898-S Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-64+ (NGC). CAC. Lovely medium gold surfaces are highly lustrous with a bright satin texture. The San Francisco Mint struck 2,575,175 double eagles, up more than 1.1 million pieces over the previous year's production, mostly from gold from the new Klondike strike. Much of this coinage found its way overseas in banking and business transactions. We estimate as many as 30,000 to 50,000 or more Mint State examples exist of this available issue. Many of the Uncirculated coins known today are from European bank hoards that came to light over the last several decades. This sharply struck and uncommonly smooth survivor is superior to most and is sure to appeal to discerning gold collectors. PCGS# 9034. NGC ID: 26CL.
