1906-S Double Eagles Liberty Head PCGS MS-61

The 1906-S Double Eagle, featuring the Liberty Head design, is a U.S. $20 gold coin minted at the San Francisco Mint, as indicated by the "S" mintmark. The PCGS MS-61 grade means the coin is in Mint State condition, meaning it has never been in circulation and retains most of its original mint luster. However, in MS-61, the coin will show minor imperfections such as light contact marks, hairlines, or abrasions, which prevent it from achieving a higher grade like MS-62 or above.

The Liberty Head design, created by Christian Gobrecht, was used on U.S. gold coins from the late 1800s to the early 1900s. The 1906-S Double Eagle is a desirable coin among collectors due to the relative scarcity of San Francisco-minted coins from this period, as San Francisco was a key minting location for U.S. gold coins. The coin’s PCGS certification ensures its authenticity and verifies its MS-61 grade, making it a great addition to any collection of U.S. gold coins.
