David Akers (1975/88)

By a considerable margin, the 1904-S is the most common Liberty Head Double Eagle from the San Francisco Mint. It is also one of the eight or ten most common dates in the entire Liberty Head series. The 1904-S is readily available in all grades up to and including choice uncirculated. Only in gem condition can the 1904-S be considered scarce and even at that level there are a substantial number of pieces known.

Grades	Survival Estimate The Survival Estimate represents an average of one or more experts opinions as to how many examples survive of a particular coin in three categories: 1) all grades, 2) 60 or better, and 3) 65 or better. These estimates are based on a variety of sources, including population reports, auction appearances, and personal knowledge. Survival estimates include coins that are raw, certified by PCGS, and certified by other grading services.
