The 1905-S $20 Liberty Head Double Eagle, struck at the San Francisco Mint, embodies the final chapter of James B. Longacre’s iconic design. PCGS has graded 443 as MS61 with 1,869 finer.
Its obverse showcases Lady Liberty crowned with a coronet, encircled by thirteen stars, while the reverse features a heraldic eagle clutching arrows and an olive branch beneath a ring of stars. This coin, graded PCGS MS-61, retains sharp details in Liberty’s hair and the eagle’s feathers, with contact marks typical of its assigned grade.
The 1905-S reflects the West Coast’s robust output. Over 1.8 million pieces were produced, yet MS65 and above survivors remain elusive due to use in commerce and later meltings. The MS-61 designation highlights a coin that escaped significant wear, preserving bold luster and intricate design elements despite light surface marks.
Collectors value this issue for its historical context and aesthetic appeal. The San Francisco Mint’s “S” mark ties it to the era of the Gold Rush and rapid Western expansion, while the Liberty Head $20 series itself is a direct result of the Gold Rush.
