- Exceptionally Well Preserved 1901-S Double Eagle 1901-S Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-64+ (PCGS). CAC. Gorgeous orange-gold surfaces are sharply struck with full satin luster. The San Francisco Mint struck 1,596,000 double eagles in 1901, or $31,920,000 in face value. This is a generous total that is on par with that of most other San Francisco Mint double eagles of the 1890s and early 1900s. While many examples undoubtedly remained in federal storage as backing for gold certificates, thousands were used in export trade. The coins that were shipped overseas have largely been repatriated beginning in the mid 20th century, a particularly large cache of 1901-S twenties included among the 47,000 double eagles found in Central America and dispersed by MTB during the early 1980s. Today this issue is readily obtainable in grades through MS-63, although it is scarce in basal MS-64 and rare beginning at the MS-64+ level. Here, then, is a significant condition rarity that would do justice to the finest double eagle set. PCGS# 9040. NGC ID: 26CT. PCGS Population: 5; 2 finer (MS-66 finest). Provenance: From the Magnolia Collection.
