Description

# 1907-D Liberty Head Double Eagle - PCGS MS66. An exceptional gem quality example of the 1907-D Liberty Head Double Eagle, representing the penultimate year of this iconic series designed by James Barton Longacre. Struck at the Denver Mint with a modest mintage of 842,250 pieces, this *MS66 PCGS* specimen offers remarkable eye appeal and outstanding preservation. The coin exhibits exceptional mint state characteristics, with sharp, well-defined design elements and minimal marks typical of the highest-grade survivors. Its golden-orange surfaces display remarkable luster and originality, demonstrating why this date is considered more challenging to obtain in high preservation levels. Only 33 total examples have been graded by PCGS, with a mere 5 coins currently existing at this or higher grade levels. Composed of 90% gold and 10% copper, this double eagle weighs 33.4 grams and measures 34mm in diameter, featuring the classic reeded edge characteristic of the period. The 1907-D represents a transitional year, as the Liberty Head design was about to be replaced by Augustus Saint-Gaudens' revolutionary new $20 gold piece design. Numismatically significant, this coin bridges the final moments of Longacre's celebrated design.
