1904-S Double Eagles Liberty Head PCGS MS-61

The 1904 S Double Eagle Liberty Head in PCGS MS-61, housed in an old green holder, is a highly regarded coin among collectors. This gold coin, featuring the Liberty Head design by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, was minted in 1904 at the San Francisco Mint. The obverse displays a classic portrait of Liberty, while the reverse features a bold eagle in flight.

Made of 90% gold, the coin weighs 33.436 grams (1.075 ounces). The MS-61 grade signifies that the coin is in "Mint State," with visible imperfections such as contact marks or hairlines, though it still retains decent luster and overall appeal. Coins graded MS-61 are considered to have moderate wear or marks, but the design remains sharp.

The "old green holder" refers to the earlier style of plastic holder used by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) before 1999. These older holders are especially sought after by collectors, as they hold historical significance within the coin grading industry.

The 1904 S Double Eagle is notable for its lower mintage compared to other years in the series, adding to its desirability among numismatists. The combination of its historical importance, relatively low mintage, and the old green holder makes this coin a valuable piece for any collection.
