Lot Description

1900-S Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-62+ (PCGS). CAC. This pretty coin is overall fully struck with vivid rose-gold patina that blends nicely with frosty mint luster. Double eagle production at the San Francisco Mint in 1900 amounted to 2,459,500 pieces, equal to a face value of $49,190,000. 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, ideal for inclusion in type sets. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection. PCGS# 9038. NGC ID: 26CR.
