Owner Comments:
Purchased from the Fairmont (Rhone set) auction held by Stacks and Bowers in August of 2023. This was the year with the highest mintage for Liberty Head gold eagles at the New Orleans mint. 113K were minted in 1903 followed closely in 1904 with 108K total mintage. That means that there are many very nice quality examples of this coin for type set needs as in my case. This was already CAC green bean certified when I purchased it.
This is a very pretty coin with ample luster, minimal marks or scuffs, and a well executed strike that gives this coin the look of a higher grade.
Currently I am using the photos from the SB auction until I am able to provide my own high quality photos.
