1863-S Double Eagles Liberty Head PCGS XF-40

The 1863 S Double Eagle Liberty Head in PCGS XF-40 is a historic and desirable gold coin from the Liberty Head series, minted at the San Francisco Mint. This coin features the classic Liberty Head design by James B. Longacre: the obverse showcases Lady Liberty wearing a coronet, while the reverse depicts a powerful eagle in flight.

The coin is made of 90% gold and weighs 33.436 grams (1.075 ounces). The PCGS XF-40 grade indicates the coin is in Extremely Fine condition. It will show moderate wear, but the key details of the design, such as Liberty’s portrait and the eagle’s features, are still well-defined. There will be some wear on the high points, but the coin retains good overall visual appeal and a noticeable amount of original luster.

The 1863 S Double Eagle is relatively rare in comparison to other years of the Liberty Head series, making it an attractive option for collectors, particularly those focused on San Francisco Mint issues or U.S. gold coins from the Civil War era. The PCGS XF-40 grade ensures that the coin has solid collector value while being more affordable than higher-grade examples. This coin is a great addition for collectors of Liberty Head Double Eagles or those interested in pieces with historical significance.
