Lot 3518 1904 Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-65+ (PCGS). CAC. A frosty golden-apricot example with razor sharp striking detail throughout the design. Surfaces are silky smooth in appearance and impressively well preserved for both the issue and the type. 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 Two, and the 1904 is the most available issue of its type in Mint State. At the premium 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 strong bid. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - JBR Set. PCGS# 9045. NGC ID: 26CY. Click here for certification details from PCGS.

Lot 4056 1905 Double Eagle, MS64+ Rare, Key 20th Century Double Eagle Tied for Finest at PCGS 1905 $20 MS64+ PCGS. With more than 6 million double eagles struck at the Philadelphia Mint in 1904, there was no need to make many more in 1905. Only 58,919 coins were struck, most with indifferent attention to quality. This high-end near-Gem survivor must have benefited from fresh dies and good fortune. Satiny surfaces retain pillowy luster throughout both sides, with a paucity of marks and a decent strike. This rare "late date" is often ignored at the Mint State level and is virtually nonexistent any finer than Choice Uncirculated. The present coin is tied with three others as the finest-certified at PCGS. Population: 4 in 64+, 0 finer (3/22).( Registry values : N7079) 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”. We believe that it meets the criteria established in Article 344(1), point (2) of Council Directive 2006/112/EC and thus should be exempt from import VAT regardless of the selling price. Any questions or concerns about VAT should be addressed to your accountant or local tax authority.
