Liberty Double Eagles
1905-S $20 MS64+ PCGS. CAC. The 1905-S is more accessible than its low-mintage Philadelphia cousin, but anyone looking for a Gem example should contemplate this high-end MS64+ double eagle. Copious mint luster, typical of the San Francisco facility, washes over beautiful orange-gold surfaces that show the fewest marks possible for the grade. PCGS has seen merely 12 finer submissions despite a mintage in excess of 1.8 million coins (11/16).
