Lot Description

1905-S Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-64 (PCGS). Impressive frosty luster flashes across both sides of this handsome near-Gem. Beautiful orange-apricot color dominates and is likely to please even the most discriminating collector. It is thought that the majority of the nearly 2 million double eagles struck at the San Francisco Mint in 1905 were held as backing for gold certificates as very few have been obtained from overseas sources. The vast majority of the Uncirculated examples seen are at the lower Mint State levels, highlighting the significance of this PCGS MS-64 offering. PCGS# 9048. NGC ID: 26D3.
