The 1907 Liberty Head Double Eagle is a common date from the Philadelphia Mint, with 1,451,786 pieces struck. In circulated grades (G-4 to EF-40) our estimate is $4,050–$4,750, and a well-preserved MS-65 example is estimated at $11,000–$15,000. Circulated coins of this date trade at or just above the value of their metal, so the live melt value on this page is the best guide to a worn coin.

Weight and size
A genuine coin weighs 33.436 g and measures 34.1 mm, with a reeded edge. Gold coins are widely counterfeited; check weight and diameter first.
Mint mark
CC, S and D sit on the reverse below the eagle. Philadelphia coins have none. Carson City coins carry a premium in every grade; check that the mint mark is original.
Strike and surface
Look at the hair above Liberty's ear, the coronet and the eagle's neck and tail feathers for wear. Bag marks and cleaning cut the Mint State grade.
