1903-S Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-64 (PCGS).An enchanting near-Gem, both sides are sharply defined with a lovely blend of orange-gold patina and frosty mint luster. The San Francisco Mint produced 954,000 double eagles in 1903, for a face value of $19,080,000. The Mint State population probably exceeds 10,000 pieces and may approach 15,000, most of which have been repatriated from foreign bank hoards beginning after World War Two. This is an above average example, ideally suited for inclusion in a high grade type or date set.From the Fairmont Collection.
