1912 Saint Gaudens Double Eagle NGC MS65+

Sirhc

Just 2 Graded Higher

The 1912 Saint-Gaudens double eagle claims a smallish mintage of 149,750 coins. Its certified population totals in MS62 and MS63 are relatively pedestrian — about a couple thousand each — but the issue becomes more challenging in MS64, scarce in MS65, and rare in MS66 or better. What also stands out about the 1912 is its status as the only issue for the year. There are no branch mint coins to supplement the population of Philadelphia representatives.

The NGC population is only 4 with 2 graded higher.

Listed at $38,500 in the NGC price guide.

1913-D Saint Gaudens Double Eagle NGC MS66

Sirhc

Only 1 Graded Higher (by a +)

The 1913-D twenty dollar is another well-produced issue from early in the series, one that generally shows excellent luster over sharply struck surfaces. Denver Mint coins of this era generally have those criteria in common; however, Denver and the other branch mints skipped striking double eagles in 1912, so that the 1911-D and 1910-D issues are the D-mint products immediately preceding the 1913-D. Only 393,500 examples of the 1913-D were reportedly struck, yet today examples below the Gem grade are fairly obtainable. Many of the earlier Saint-Gaudens issues such as the 1913-D avoided the mass meltings that many later dates saw by being exported to Europe or Latin America, only to be repatriated over the ensuing decades.

The one offered here exhibits attractive orange-gold color.

The NGC population is 12 with 1 (MS66+) example graded higher.

1908-S Saint Gaudens Double Eagle NGC MS62

Sirhc

Lowest-Mintage With Motto Saint

The limited mintage amounts to only 22,000 coins, making the 1908-S the lowest-mintage With Motto Saint-Gaudens twenty. The San Francisco Mint did not solve all the production problems striking the new design, and double eagle production was suspended during the year. The coins would not “stack,” meaning a pile of ten or twenty coins was of different height than those of Liberty Head double eagles, confusing bank employees. High-grade coins are scarce-to-rare in accordance with the low mintage.

The NGC population is 51 with (coincidentally) 51 graded higher.

1867-S Liberty Double Eagle PCGS MS62

Sirhc

The 1867-S was struck too late to participate in the big shipwreck recoveries, such as the S.S. Central America and the S.S. Republic.  But the 1867-S was struck too early to be included in large-scale exports to foreign banks. Because of those factors, the issue is much rarer in Mint State than its mintage implies, even though XF to AU examples appear regularly at auction. 

The PCGS population is just 7 with 3 graded higher.

1928 Saint Gaudens Double Eagle PCGS MS67

Sirhc

The mintage of 8.8 million double eagles in 1928 was the highest production figure for any coin of the denomination from the beginning in 1850. The next closest was the 1904 Liberty double eagle with a coinage of slightly more than 6 million coins. Unsurprisingly, the 1928 is one of the common dates in the Saint-Gaudens series, although the PCGS population is less than 40% of the 1927, and less than 20% the total for 1924 double eagles. Enough of these have been graded that any collector can aspire to own an example as fine as MS66. Locating one at this grade level is a different story, however.

The PCGS population is 127 with 13 graded higher.

Listed at $20,000 in the PCGS price guide.

1908-D With Motto Saint Gaudens Double Eagle NGC MS66

Sirhc

Despite objections from President Theodore Roosevelt, Congress mandated that the motto IN GOD WE TRUST be added to the Saint-Gaudens double eagle and other U.S. coinage. While Roosevelt felt the motto distracted from the Saint-Gaudens design, he yielded to public outcry and Congressional will. All of the 1908 With Motto twenties (Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco) are scarce in Gem Uncirculated condition and rare any finer, although the 1908-D Motto benefits from several high-grade examples found in Central America in 1983.

The NGC population is 10 with 9 graded higher.

1854-S Liberty Double Eagle PCGS AU50

Sirhc

The San Francisco Mint began coinage operations in 1854, occupying the same building that previously housed the U.S. Assay Office of Gold, which produced the iconic $50 octagonal “slugs” of the Gold Rush period. Coinage during the first several months though was stunted due to a lack of parting acids needed for ore refinement. The double eagle mintage at San Francisco of 1854 was only 141,468 pieces, which would prove to be the lowest total coinage of this denomination at the West Coast branch mint. Surviving examples of the 1854-S double eagle are scarce in high AU grades and borderline rare in attractive Mint State condition.

1907 Flat Rim High Relief Saint Gaudens Double Eagle NGC MS67

dyann

Numismatists are familiar with Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ eagle and double eagle, but his oeuvre included statues, bas-reliefs, medallions, cameos, and works in other media. As a teenager he began his career with an apprenticeship to a cameo-cutter before he left for Paris in 1867. Although he was able to make some money selling cameos in New York City, by his own accounts they did not sell well in Paris, where other artists were more skillful. Saint-Gaudens would soon create works on a grander scale, but his experience with cameo-cutting would come in handy when he was commissioned to design medals and, later, coins.

It is impossible to say which of Saint-Gaudens’ many works was the most important, but certainly his statue of General William Tecumseh Sherman is one of the most lauded, and the figure of Victory (Nike) in the monument would later be used as a model for the double eagle. This statue also brought Saint-Gaudens into contact with Roosevelt, who was vice president at the time, and their collaboration would later result in the beginning of the American coinage renaissance.

Saint-Gaudens wanted his statue of Sherman to be positioned near Grant’s Tomb, which was completed in 1897, for artistic and historical reasons. Roger Burdette (2006) writes, “After a chance meeting on a train returning from the Buffalo Exhibition in May 1901, he sought the intervention of vice-president Theodore Roosevelt in an attempt to secure his preferred location of the statue.”

Although Roosevelt was unsuccessful and the statue was placed at the southeastern corner of New York’s Central Park, he did not forget his encounter with Saint-Gaudens. Less than four years later, Roosevelt would ask Saint-Gaudens to redesign some of the country’s coins. The coins were Saint-Gaudens’ final project, and the 1907 High Relief double eagle was the fitting capstone to the artist’s distinguished career.

The physical perfection of this coin makes one realize why Theodore Roosevelt was so proud of these pieces and why he used them for presentation purposes.

Most 1907 High Reliefs are a pleasure to behold. This one, however, is (even) much better than that!
