Lot Description

1906-S Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-64+ (PCGS). CAC. Vivid yellow-gold surfaces are also highly lustrous and sharply struck with traces of peripheral patina on each side. The 1906-S double eagle has a mintage of 2,065,750 pieces ($41,415,000 face value). Most were exported, repatriations in recent decades bringing the Mint State population into the mid to high four-figure range. Yet despite its availability in an absolute sense, the 1906-S is scarce at the near-Gem threshold and rare any finer. This is certainly a superior example from the standpoint of surface preservation, and it will see spirited bidding at auction. PCGS Population: 33; 6 finer (MS-67 finest). PCGS# 9051. NGC ID: 26D6.
