Description

# 1898-S Liberty Head Double Eagle. ## $20 Gold Coin - San Francisco Mint. A splendid example of late 19th-century American gold coinage, this 1898-S Liberty Head Double Eagle represents a significant piece of numismatic history from the San Francisco Mint. Struck during a pivotal era of American economic expansion, this $20 gold piece showcases the classic Liberty Head design by James B. Longacre with remarkable preservation. Graded MS-62 by a prominent third-party service and CAC approved, this specimen exhibits the characteristic sharp mint luster and clean surfaces typical of high-grade examples from this era. The coin displays minimal marks and retains strong original mint color, with subtle golden-orange tones that highlight the intricate design details. The strike is crisp, with well-defined features on both the obverse and reverse, demonstrating excellent preservation for its age. The 1898-S double eagle represents a relatively limited mintage, making this example particularly desirable for serious gold coin collectors and numismatic investors. San Francisco mint issues from this period are prized for their historical significance and relative scarcity. With its CAC certification (Certificate #488436587), this coin represents a high-quality example of pre-1933 gold coinage that would be an exceptional addition to any sophisticated collection of American gold coins.
