Description

The 1893 (S) Liberty Head Double Eagle is a Gold Double Eagle produced at the San Francisco Mint as part of the Liberty Head Double Eagles 1849-1907 series. With a mintage of 996,175, this is a less common issue — the highest mintage among 3 variants, accounting for 73% of the year's production. The obverse features Liberty facing left wearing a coronet inscribed LIBERTY and the reverse displays a heraldic eagle with shield on breast, olive branch and arrows in talons, with a banner reading E PLURIBUS UNUM surrounded by a glory of rays. The 1893-CC is the final Carson City double eagle. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, established during the California Gold Rush and now primarily producing proof and collector coins. Estimated market value ranges from $4.9K to $6.3K depending on grade and condition. Struck in 90% gold, 10% copper, weighing 33.4 grams, 34 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #9024.
