1929 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle. MS-63 (PCGS).
This lovely example offers fully lustrous, satiny surfaces enhanced by attractive golden-rose color. Both sides are pleasingly smooth for the assigned grade with no troublesome post-production blemishes. There is a mint-made planchet streak on the lower reverse that we mention for accuracy. Sharply struck. Our multiple offerings in this sale notwithstanding, this late date double eagle is very scarce to rare in all grades. Most were never released into commerce and subsequently melted, survivors always in demand among advanced specialists in the Saint-Gaudens series.
