- Extraordinary Superb Gem 1903-S Liberty Eagle 1903-S Liberty Eagle. MS-67 (PCGS). Exceptional quality in technical terms with virtually undiminished surfaces in the manner of nicks, bagmarks or scuffs. Furthermore the eye appeal is immense with radiant mint luster throughout and rich greenish to orange-gold shades. Fully struck, not that these come soft, but always a good thing. Scuffs, scrapes and nicks are scattered over both sides in quite limited numbers, far and away finer than commonly encountered. Tied with two others as the finest seen by PCGS of this date and mint, and one of the finest of this entire type so certified. A thoroughly enjoyable coin to view and no doubt to own as well.Numismatic Reflections by Q. David Bowers The 1903-S eagle is common enough in lower grades, but is an exceptional rarity at the level offered here. PCGS# 8754. PCGS Population: 3; none finer.
