Los 4557 1898-S Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-64 (PCGS). CAC. A breathtakingly beautiful example that is solidly in the near-Gem category and handsome enough to suggest an even higher grade. Bathed in frosty rose-gold luster, both sides are silky smooth in appearance and sharply struck throughout the design. The San Francisco Mint produced 2,575,175 double eagles in 1898, up more than 1.1 million pieces over the previous year's production at the West Coast facility. Face value for this generous mintage amounted to $51,503,500. Much of this coinage found its way overseas in banking and business transactions. We estimate as many as 30,000 to 50,000 or more Mint State examples exist of this plentiful issue, many of which are from European bank hoards that came to light over the last several decades. This is a truly delightful coin worthy of the strongest bids and is sure to please even the most discriminating of collectors. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection. PCGS# 9034. NGC ID: 26CL.

Estimated Surviving Population, Mint State: We estimate as many as 30,000 to 50,000 or more Mint State examples exist of this plentiful issue. Many of the Uncirculated coins known today are from European bank hoards that came to light over the last several decades. Estimated Surviving Population, Circulated Grades: Estimates suggest from 200,000 to 300,000 or more examples exist, with EF and AU pieces in abundance. Commentary: The zenith of the Klondike Gold Rush was in 1898. Two years earlier just 500 or so people had inhabited Dawson City at the convergence of the Yukon and Klondike rivers. By late summer 1898 the population had swollen to nearly 30,000, with boarding houses, hotels, saloons, and other buildings in abundance. Q. David Bowers: The chances are good that the offered double eagle is from Klondike gold. From the Gilded Age Collection Provenance: From the Gilded Age Collection.
