Over 2 million were struck, but the 1907-S double eagle is scarcer than this figure would suggest. It is likely that many were melted.

Expert’s Corner: 190-S Double Eagle

This is a numismatically significant and popular issue due to its status as the final Liberty Head double eagle struck at the San Francisco Mint.

The 1907-S tends to be a well-made issue with a good quality of strike. Some pieces are slightly weak on the obverse stars and at the top of the head, but overall detail is as good as on any Type Three double eagle produced at this mint. The luster is frosty in texture and similar in appearance and quality to that seen on the 1905-S and 1906-S double eagles. The surfaces are usually very noticeably abraded, as most 1907-S double eagles were shipped loose in bags to banks and were subject to considerable contact.
