1904-S Double Eagles Liberty Head NGC MS-62

The 1904-S Double Eagle, featuring the Liberty Head design, is a U.S. $20 gold coin minted at the San Francisco Mint, denoted by the "S" mintmark. The NGC MS-62 grade indicates that the coin is in Mint State condition, meaning it has never been in circulation. An MS-62 grade suggests that the coin shows some minor imperfections, such as light contact marks, hairlines, or abrasions, but it still retains a significant amount of its original luster and sharp details. This grade is considered a solid choice for collectors, as the coin has been well-preserved but may not be as perfect as higher-grade examples.

The Liberty Head design, created by Christian Gobrecht, was used on U.S. gold coins from 1849 to 1907. The 1904-S Double Eagle is particularly desirable among collectors due to its San Francisco mintage, which was typically lower compared to other mints, such as Philadelphia or New Orleans. This makes the coin more scarce and collectible, especially in higher Mint State grades like MS-62.

Certified by NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Corporation), the coin's authenticity and quality are assured, making it an excellent addition to a collection of U.S. gold coins.
