Description

The 1875 (S) Liberty Head Double Eagle is a Gold Double Eagle produced at the San Francisco Mint as part of the Liberty Head Double Eagles 1849-1907 series. With a mintage of 1.2 million, this is a less common issue — the highest mintage among 3 variants, accounting for 75% of the year's production. The obverse features Liberty facing left wearing a coronet inscribed LIBERTY and the reverse displays a heraldic eagle with shield on breast, olive branch and arrows in talons, with a banner reading E PLURIBUS UNUM surrounded by a glory of rays. Three-mint production. Carson City, Philadelphia, and San Francisco all struck double eagles. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, established during the California Gold Rush and now primarily producing proof and collector coins. Estimated market value ranges from $4.9K to $13K depending on grade and condition. Struck in 90% gold, 10% copper, weighing 33.4 grams, 34 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #8975.
