Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle
1928 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle. MS-67 (PCGS).
The vibrant yellow-gold color of this Superb Gem is complemented by hints of peach and powder-blue throughout. Satiny luster cartwheels across both dies and remains fully undisturbed by handling. A visually sensational example. The 1928 boasts the highest mintage of any Double Eagle struck by the US Mint, including both the Liberty Head and Saint-Gaudens series. At 8,816,000 pieces struck, this issue is readily available in Mint State up through MS-65. At the Superb level, however, survivors are scarce. With only 13 coins graded finer by PCGS, this is surely an ideal candidate for an advanced Registry Set.
