Description
1922 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle. MS-65+ (PCGS).
Lustrous honey-rose surfaces exhibit a soft satin texture throughout. This sharply struck double eagle offers a very smooth appearance for the issue. Many of the 1,375,500 double eagles that the Philadelphia Mint produced in 1922 were exported during the 1920s. These coins remained as part of foreign bank reserves until after World War Two, when they began to make their way back to the United States. Today, the 1922 is readily available in lower Mint State grades, but it is grossly underrated at and above the MS-65 level when compared to the truly common date 1924 and 1927. A find for the astute double eagle enthusiast.
PCGS# 9173. NGC ID: 26G3.
PCGS Population: 61; 14 finer (MS-66+ finest).
Estimate: $7000
