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.

Listed at $50,400 in the CDN CPG and $42,500 in the NGC price guide.

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.

Listed at $18,600 in the CDN CPG and $21,500 in the NGC price guide.

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.

Listed at $30,000 in the CDN CPG and $35,000 in the PCGS price guide.

Offered at $27,000

1908-D Indian Half Eagle NGC MS65

Sirhc

Tied for Highest Graded

The 1908-D has a relatively low mintage of 148,000 pieces. Nonetheless, enough examples have returned from overseas bank vaults to allow collectors of the series to select a Mint State representative. The issue becomes scarce in Choice condition, and Gems are very rare.

The NGC population is only 7 with none graded higher.

Listed at $27,350 in the CDN CPG and $27,500 in the NGC price guide.

1937-D Three-Legged Buffalo Nickel NGC MS65

Sirhc

Buffalo nickel coinage at Denver in 1937 totaled more than 17.8 million coins. Although this mintage paled in comparison to the 79 million coins struck at Philadelphia, Denver produced its coinage with die pairs that were often stretched past their normal life span. One such die was became so heavily eroded that it was aggressively lapped to remove metal flowlines. The lapping mostly effaced the bison’s forward right leg, creating what is now known as the 1937-D Three-Legged nickel. The variety is one of the key acquisitions for collectors of the Guide Book series, surpassed in scarcity only by the 1916 doubled die and 1918/7-S overdate.

The NGC population is 57 with 29 graded higher.

Listed at $25,900 in the CDN CPG and $24,500 in the NGC price guide.
