Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this coin represents a transitional design year where both “Open 3” and “Closed 3” numeral styles were used. The Closed 3 variety—where the ends of the “3” nearly touch—is less common and often sought after by collectors for its subtle distinction.

Designed by James B. Longacre, the Liberty Double Eagle series was produced from 1849 to 1907 and is one of the most iconic gold coin types in U.S. history. With nearly a full troy ounce of gold, this MS61 example offers a combination of collectible rarity and tangible value.
