Description
# 1901 Liberty Head Double Eagle - PCGS MS63. An exceptional example of the Liberty Head Double Eagle from the Philadelphia Mint, this 1901 $20 gold piece represents a quintessential specimen of late 19th/early 20th-century American coinage. Struck during the final decade of James Barton Longacre's iconic design, this coin offers remarkable preservation and historical significance. Graded PCGS MS63, this lustrous gold coin displays excellent mint state preservation with vibrant original surfaces and minimal contact marks typical of its grade. The Philadelphia Mint produced 111,430 examples in this year, though truly choice specimens like this are considerably scarcer. The coin exhibits the characteristic 90% gold, 10% copper composition with precise reeded edge and full mint details. From a population perspective, this coin represents an important numismatic artifact. With only 2,591 pieces graded higher out of 154 total submissions, this PCGS MS63 represents a solid example of this classic design. Despite the date's relative availability, this specimen offers superior eye appeal and technical quality that will appeal to serious gold coin collectors and numismatic investors.
