Lot Description

1900-S Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-64 (PCGS). Flashy rose-apricot surfaces are fully lustrous, sharply struck and visually appealing. Double eagle production at the San Francisco Mint in 1900 amounted to 2,459,500 pieces. Writing in 2004, our own 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 MS-63. Provenance: From our sale of the Mark and Lottie Salton Collection, June 2022 Auction, lot 6421, where it realized $6,900. PCGS# 9038. NGC ID: 26CR. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
