1904-S PCGS MS-63.

1904-S NGC MS-63.
|
|
For MS-63, the obverse displays the typical faint abrading that always seems to define the grade, while the reverse probably grades a point higher. If only cholesterol worked like that. |

1904-S NGC MS-63.

Spot-free. Potent luster enlivens butterscotch patina, which in turn layers over excellent sharpness. The central definition exceeds the norm even for 1904-S, although a couple of stars do not quite... |

Barbara U'Dell Gold Collection. Superb luster emanates from 1904-S and the coin appears slightly nicer than the assigned MS-62 grade. 1916-S has modest highpoint rub on Liberty's knee, while the... |

Two 1904-S PCGS MS-63.

1904-S PCGS MS-62 (rattler).
|
|
It would be easy to mistake this for an undergraded double-eagle, since the cheek and fields are as free from distraction as coins grading at least a point higher. Were it not for a single small gash... |

1904-S PCGS MS-62 (rattler).

1904-S PCGS MS-62.

1904-S PCGS MS-63 (rattler).
|
|
The reverse grades MS-65 all by itself, and both side are graced with superior luster. Moderate abrasions affect Liberty's cheek and the top of her hair, implying the assigned grade. |

1904-S PCGS MS-63.

|
A shimmering coin, the detail is not quite as well struck as most 1904-S double-eagles go, since some stars are incomplete at the center. |

|
1904-S PCGS MS-63.
|
|
Quite chippy for MS-63, with many tiny abrasions visible in the obverse fields. This has no impact whatsoever on the locomotion luster, which booms and bellows through the fields on both sides. ... |

1904-S NGC MS-64.
|
|
Smooth and creamy, like peanut butter on hot toast. Stars are well defined, and the both sides are unexpectedly free from even moderate detraction. And that's why choosy mothers choose Jif. |

Extremes in size of American coinage is exemplified by this dubious pairing of an 1851 gold dollar and a 1904-S double eagle. The dollar is damaged, and the double eagle cleaned, but the face value... |

|
1904-S NGC MS-62 Golden Gate Collection.
|

Praiseworthy sharpness and a modicum of prooflike character in the obverse fields suggest a coin that looks more like a Philadelphia product than a San Francisco double-eagle of the era. Trivial... |
