Product Details: Designed by Christian Gobrecht, the Liberty Head Gold Eagle was a cornerstone of American commerce from 1838 to 1907. It served as the highest circulating gold denomination and played a vital role in the nation's economic growth and westward expansion. The series is notable for surviving the Gold Reserve Act of 1934, which outlawed private gold ownership, making these coins a tangible link to a rich historical tapestry. An MS 65 (Mint State 65) grade is considered a premium tier in the world of coin collecting. This grade signifies a coin that is well-struck and retains a strong, attractive luster. While it may show a few small, scattered contact marks, these imperfections are moderate and do not detract from the coin's overall visual appeal. Collectors often refer to MS 65 as the 'sweet spot' because it offers an exceptional balance of quality and value, commanding a higher premium than lower grades while remaining more accessible than the ultra-high grades of MS 67 and above. While the 1901-S Gold Eagle had a significant mintage, many coins did not survive in high grades due to extensive circulation. As a result, finding an example with the exceptional quality of a certified MS 65 is a notable opportunity for both collectors and investors. Its certified grade from a top-tier service like NGC ensures its authenticity and condition, providing peace of mind and confidence in your acquisition.
