Description
The 1886 Liberty Head Double Eagle is a Gold Double Eagle produced at the Philadelphia Mint as part of the Liberty Head Double Eagles 1849-1907 series. With a mintage of 1,000, this is an extremely rare issue — the higher-mintage of the two mint variants, representing 90% of 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. Low Philadelphia mintage. San Francisco dominated double eagle production. Struck at the original U.S. Mint facility, in continuous operation since 1792. Estimated market value ranges from $57K to $233K 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 #9006.
