Lot 4470 1903-S Double Eagle, MS64 Well-Struck, Vibrant Luster 1903-S $20 MS64 PCGS. The 1903-S mintage of nearly 1 million pieces seemed large -- until the prodigious mintages of 1904 in both Philadelphia and San Francisco. This near-Gem 1903-S is radiant orange-gold, with roiling cartwheel luster and well-struck, near-unmarked surfaces. Ex: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 5/2012), lot 5320. ( Registry values : N2998) From The Warrior Mountain Collection. Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 26CX , PCGS# 9044 , Greysheet# 9964 ) Weight: 33.44 grams Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper Note for clients in the European Union: This lot is considered by the European Union to be “investment gold”.

Lot 1232 1904 Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-65+ (NGC). 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. PCGS# 9045. NGC ID: 26CY. Click here for certification details from NGC.

Lot 5641 1904-S Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-65+ (PCGS). Tied for second highest certified by PCGS this is an awe-inspiring premium Gem. The surfaces are silky smooth in texture with eye appeal to spare. Fully struck with bountiful mint luster and vivid golden wheat patina. The mintage for the 1904-S double eagle is 5,134,175 pieces, a record figure for a San Francisco Mint issue of this denomination that amounted to $102,683,500 in face value. Tens of thousands of Mint State examples are estimated to exist, most of which have been repatriated from foreign bank hoards beginning after World War Two. Although plentiful in an absolute sense the 1904-S is, like all classic U.S. Mint gold coins, a conditionally challenging issue that is rare in the finest Mint State grades, as here. PCGS Population: 26; 11 finer (all MS-66). PCGS# 9046. NGC ID: 26CZ. Click here for certification details from PCGS.

Lot 50045 1905 Liberty Double Eagle, MS62 Late-Series, Low-Mintage Issue 1905 $20 MS62 NGC. While the Philadelphia 1904 double eagle mintage was huge (more than 6.2 million pieces), the 1905 production was only a tiny fraction of the previous year's output. Only 58,919 pieces were struck. This is one of the scarce Mint State survivors, with brightly lustrous straw-gold surfaces peppered with the expected tiny marks but no heavy contacts. Frosty fields and devices retain the coin's original sharp strike.( Registry values : N1793) Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 26D2 , PCGS# 9047 , Greysheet# 9840 ) Weight: 33.44 grams Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper Note for clients in the European Union: This lot is considered by the European Union to be “investment gold”.

Lot 3742 1904-S Liberty Double Eagle, MS64+ CAC-Approved Branch Mint Issue 1904-S $20 MS64+ PCGS. CAC. A large mintage of more than 5.1 million pieces makes the 1904-S an available Type Three Liberty Head issue. This Plus-graded near-Gem example displays CAC endorsement -- a borderline Gem coin, with highly lustrous and smoothly frosted surfaces that radiate exceptional eye appeal. The strike is sharp and abrasions are few. Flashy, rich-gold color is unsurpassed even by coins with a higher technical grade.( Registry values : N1793) Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 26CZ , PCGS# 9046 , Greysheet# 9965 ) Weight: 33.44 grams Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper Note for clients in the European Union: This lot is considered by the European Union to be “investment gold”.
