- 1901 Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-64+ (PCGS).
Gorgeous apricot-gold surfaces are fully lustrous with a predominantly smooth, satiny 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 Eagle Gold Coins, gives a high end estimate of more than 15,000 Mint State coins extant. Premium Choice examples such as this, however, are scarce and always in demand among discerning gold collectors.
Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - Rhone Set.
PCGS# 9039. NGC ID: 26CS.
