Description

1901 Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-65+ (PCGS).
Gorgeous rose-gold surfaces are fully lustrous with a predominantly smooth, softly frosted texture to both sides. Sharply struck, as well, and a delight to behold. Only 111,430 circulation strike double eagles were coined at the Philadelphia Mint in 1901, a figure that amounts to a face value of $2,228,600. Although this is a fairly low mintage by 20th century standards, a large proportion of the original production figure has survived to the present time, as indicated by population reports and other data. In fact, Q. David Bowers, in his 2004 Guide Book of Double Eagles, gives a high end estimate of more than 15,000 Mint State coins extant. Premium Gems such as this, however, are rare and always in demand among discerning gold collectors.
PCGS# 9039. NGC ID: 26CS.
PCGS Population: 10; 4 finer (all MS-66).
From the Fairmont Collection - JBR Set.
