Description
The 1894 (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 1.0 million, this is a less common issue — the lower-mintage of the two mint variants. 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. Post-Panic production at Philadelphia and San Francisco. Double eagles backed international confidence. 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 $6.3K 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 #9026.
