A scarce and underrated gem in the Liberty Head Double Eagle series, the 1894-S $20 Gold Double Eagle in PCGS MS64 represents a rare opportunity to acquire a high-grade example from a tough date.

Struck at the San Francisco Mint during the economic challenges of the 1890s, this issue saw modest production numbers, with far fewer survivors in Mint State compared to later common-date issues. While the 1904 Double Eagle is readily available in MS64 by the tens of thousands, the 1894-S boasts a PCGS-certified population of just 380 pieces, with a mere 70 coins graded higher. That makes it over 113 times scarcer in this grade than its more common counterparts.

This particular coin exhibits exceptional eye appeal, with rich golden surfaces, bold luster, and sharp design details. The strike is crisp, with Liberty’s hair and the eagle’s feathers fully defined, giving this coin a premium look that stands out even among similarly graded peers. It is a prime candidate for collectors who prioritize both visual quality and strategic long-term value.

The 1894-S in MS64 is a highly desirable addition—offering true scarcity, strong eye appeal, and historic significance in one elegant package.
