1897-S Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-63+ (PCGS). This is a highly lustrous, golden-rose example with a bold to sharp strike throughout. The San Francisco Mint struck 1,470,250 double eagles in 1897, much of the bullion coming from the Klondike Gold Rush that began in mid-August 1896. Face value was $29,405,000. Much of this mintage was used in overseas transactions, repatriations from foreign bank hoards in recent decades resulting in a Mint State population of some 12,000 to 18,000+ coins. With most grading MS-60 through basal MS-63, this premium Choice example is sure to catch the eye of quality conscious double eagle enthusiasts. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection. PCGS# 9032.
