- 1898-S Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-65 (NGC). Endearing golden-orange surfaces are sharply struck, highly lustrous, and uncommonly well preserved. The San Francisco Mint produced 2,575,175 double eagles in 1898, up more than 1.1 million pieces over the previous year's production at the West Coast facility. Face value for this generous mintage amounted to $51,503,500. Much of this coinage found its way overseas in banking and business transactions. We estimate as many as 30,000 to 50,000 or more Mint State examples exist of this plentiful issue, many of which are from European bank hoards that came to light over the last several decades. This is a truly delightful coin, scarce at the MS-65 grade level, and worthy of the strongest bids. PCGS# 9034. NGC ID: 26CL. Click here for certification details from NGC.
