1903 Liberty Head Double Eagle
The 1903 is one of the lower mintage circulation strike Liberty Head double eagles from the 20th century. Only 287,270 pieces were produced, falling dramatically short of the 6.2 million that would be struck in Philadelphia the following year. Fortunately, tens of thousands of Uncirculated 1903 double eagles are available for today's collectors, though most of these are in grades of MS-64 or lower with bag marks and similar defects.
The example to the left was sold by Stack's Bowers Galleries in the Spring 2022 Showcase Auction, where it realized $19,200.
