Gem 1901 Liberty Head Double Eagle
Exemplary Strike

1901 $20 MS65 PCGS. CAC. The 1901 Liberty Head double eagle boasts a low mintage of 111,430 pieces, but its presence in a hoard that surfaced in the 1990s makes the date surprisingly easy to locate in Mint State grades. The population drops off precipitously above the Gem level, and only three coins have been certified in higher numeric grades by PCGS and NGC combined (8/10). The present coin is a delightful Gem specimen, with a sharp strike and vibrant mint luster. The surfaces are a pleasing yellow-gold color, with highlights of olive and rose. Housed in a green label holder.(Registry values: N2998)
