1904 $20 Liberty Head Double Eagle PCGS MS62

Here’s an attractive early 20th century gold type coin—in the desirable PCGS Old Green Holder—to add to your collection.

From its huge mintage of 6,256,699, there have been a whopping 238,155 of the 1904 Liberty Head double eagles graded by PCGS. From that amount, there have been 78,635 graded as MS62, with 134,829 finer. Collector’s Universe prices this issue at $3,100.00 in MS62.

David Akers writes, "The 1904 is by far the most common date in the Liberty Head Double Eagle series and it is also one of the commonest of all twenties along with the 1908 No Motto, 1924 and 1927. The 1904 is available in large quantities and a great many choice, gem and even superb examples exist."
