1914-S Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle. MS-67 (NGC).
A premium quality example of both the issue and type with tremendous eye appeal. Highly lustrous with beautiful honey-apricot color, this sharply impressed Superb Gem makes a strong impact when viewed in-hand. Unblemished, near-perfect surfaces are truly a sight to see in an example of this perennially popular type. Despite its status as one of the most available issues from the pre-1920 Saint-Gaudens double eagle series, the 1914-S is very scarce in MS-66 and virtually unknown any finer. While several large hoards were distributed throughout the second half of the 20th century, the vast majority of these coins feature distracting abrasions from decades of improper storage and mishandling. Only about 0.5% of the original mintage are thought to survive in MS-65 or higher. This landmark opportunity to place the single highest graded example at both PCGS and NGC as a cornerstone into a world-class gold collection should not be taken for granted. Advanced gold specialists would be wise to carefully consider this offering.
