1893-S Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-63 (PCGS).

1893-S Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-63 (PCGS).，Outstanding Choice quality throughout, this is a sharply struck, fully lustrous example with predominantly smooth-looking surfaces. The year 1893 saw one of the largest financial panics in American history caused by a series of financial collapses precipitating from railroad expansion paid for through overextended credit and loans from major banks and exacerbated by a collapse in the price of silver. Even more gold coins ended up in foreign shipments, including the lions share of the nearly one million double eagles struck at San Francisco. Today, there are thousands of Mint State examples for collectors to appreciate, though mostly in the lower end of the scale. An engaging specimen a hairs breadth away from an even higher grade that will appeal to the most demanding of connoisseurs.，，
