- Smooth and lustrous golden surfaces deliver outstanding eye appeal. Sharply struck with outstanding preservation, this coin is equally recommended for inclusion in a high grade gold type set or specialized double eagle collection. By the early 20th century gold coins no longer actively circulated within the United States, except for limited use on the West Coast, which needs were easily met by the San Francisco Mint. As such, it seems that most examples of this Philadelphia Mint issue were used in international commerce, generally in the form of shipment to England or France. Hundreds of thousands of these coins returned to the United States beginning after World War II, and the 1904 is the most available double eagle of its type in Mint State. At the Gem Uncirculated level, as here, the 1904 is scarce and enjoys particularly strong demand for inclusion in high grade type and date sets. This is a beautiful coin, and it is sure to sell for a solid bid.
