1904 Liberty Head Double Eagle, MS66
A Wonderful Type Coin With a Hint of Semireflectivity in the Fields

1904 $20 MS66 PCGS. From a huge mintage of more than 6.2 million pieces, the 1904 Liberty Head double eagle is the most available date of the series. Accordingly, the issue enjoys great popularity with investors and type collectors, as well as series enthusiasts. Large numbers were used in foreign trade and preserved in European banks, to be repatriated in recent times. The issue is easily located in grades up to the Gem level, and even MS66 coins can only be called scarce. However, improving on a Premium Gem example, such as the present coin, is almost impossible. Currently, NGC has certified only a single coin finer than MS66, while PCGS has graded two specimens above the Premium Gem level (11/09).
The present coin is fully struck, with hints of a semiprooflike finish in the fields of both sides. The surfaces are a pleasing, even reddish-gold color. As expected with an MS66 coin, the surfaces exhibit no mentionable blemishes.(Registry values: N4719)
