Description

1924-D Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle. MS-63 (PCGS).

Highly desirable Choice Mint State preservation for this key date double eagle issue. Warm honey-rose color dominates the in hand appearance. Sharply struck in virtually all areas with full mint luster. Far scarcer in numismatic circles than a mintage of 3,049,500 pieces might imply, the 1924-D is one of many late date Saint-Gaudens double eagles that suffered a high rate or attrition through melting during the late 1930s. Several thousand examples were exported, however, and repatriations in recent decades account for the vast majority of survivors. With Gems prohibitively rare, this solidly graded MS-63 represents a particularly significant opportunity for advanced gold enthusiasts.

PCGS# 9178. NGC ID: 26G8.

From the Fairmont Collection - CBL Set.
