1922 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle. MS-63 (PCGS).
Lustrous deep honey-rose surfaces exhibit a soft frosty texture throughout. This sharply struck double eagle offers an uncommonly 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 II, when they began to make their way back to the United States. Today, the 1922 is readily available in lower Mint State grades, but becomes significantly more difficult as one reaches the higher Mint State levels.
