- 1904-S Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-65 (PCGS). A breathtakingly beautiful example that ranks among the finer examples of both the type and issue available to today's discerning gold collectors. Exquisite golden-apricot surfaces are further adorned with billowy mint frost. The strike is bold to sharp throughout, as befits the issue, and the surfaces are remarkably smooth in appearance. The mintage for the 1904-S double eagle is 5,134,175 pieces, a record figure for a San Francisco Mint issue of this denomination. Tens of thousands of Mint State examples are estimated to exist, most of which have been repatriated from foreign bank hoards beginning after World War Two. Although plentiful in an absolute sense the 1904-S is, like all classic U.S. Mint gold coins, a conditionally challenging issue that is rare in the finest Mint State grades. This is a superior quality Gem that would serve as a highlight in an advanced cabinet. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - JBR Set. PCGS# 9046. NGC ID: 26CZ.
