Lot Description

Awe-Inspiring MS-66 PCGS 1907-S Eagle Finest Certified 1907-S Liberty Head Eagle. MS-66+ (PCGS). CAC. A breathtakingly beautiful premium Gem that really needs to be seen to be fully appreciated. Vivid reddish-rose patina blends with intense satin to softly frosted luster. Both sides are fully struck with silky smooth, virtually pristine surfaces. The final San Francisco Mint issue in the long-lived Liberty Head eagle series, the 1907-S is also the scarcest issue of this type from the 20th century. Although the mintage of 210,500 is fairly generous for the era, few coins have been located in European bank hoards of classic U.S. Mint gold coins. Most examples probably remained in government storage until destroyed through melting in 1937. A particularly significant bidding opportunity for the advanced gold collector, the present lot offers the single finest 1907-S eagle known. Remarkable! PCGS Population: just 1; 0 finer. PCGS# 8765.
