1892-S Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-64 (PCGS). CAC.Gorgeous rose-orange surfaces are exceptionally smooth for this otherwise readily obtainable San Francisco Mint issue. Fully defined and highly lustrous, even the most discerning double eagle enthusiasts will be impressed with this lovely near-Gem. Mintage for this issue was 930,150 pieces, down nearly 358,000 pieces from the previous years double eagle delivery at the West Coast mint. Face value equaled $18,603,000. Some 4,000 to 7,000 or more Mint State examples can be found today. This variety was somewhat scarce in the 1950s and 1960s, but recent decades have brought many from overseas back to America, and now AU and low-end Mint State pieces are plentiful. In MS-64, as here, the issue remains scarce from a condition standpoint.From the Fairmont Collection.
