1894 Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-64+ (PCGS). Originally preserved with deep rose-gold color, this lovely near-Gem example also offers sharp striking detail and bountiful mint luster. The surfaces are remarkably pristine in hand, confirming this coin as among the finest known for the circulation strike 1894 double eagle. The mintage for this issue was 1,368,940 pieces, up more than one million coins over the previous year's tally of double eagles at the Philadelphia Mint. Most examples found their way overseas in banking and other transactions, and large numbers of 1894 double eagles have been repatriated in recent decades. We estimate some 15,000 to 25,000 Mint State examples of the date can be found today. However, most grade MS-60 to MS-62; premium Choice survivors, as offered here, are rare.

The 1894 is one of the more common dates of the series. It is similar in rarity to the 1896 and 1897 and more rare than the 1895, 1899 and the much lower mintage 1901. The 1894 is readily obtainable in high circulated grades as well as Unc-60. Choice uncs are available quite often but in gem condition the 1894 is very scarce, as are nearly all Liberty Head Double Eagles, even the common dates.
