1929 $20 Saint Gaudens – PCGS MS64

Sirhc

After numerous common date Philadelphia Mint double eagles were issued through 1928, mintages continued at substantial levels in 1929 and beyond. However, beginning in 1929 these pieces were not widely distributed, but rather, were stored in Treasury vaults awaiting their fate in the government melting pots of the mid and late-1930s. In Encyclopedia of U.S. Gold Coins,  Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth wrote: “Beginning with the 1929 double eagle and continuing through the 1933 issue, any collector who undertakes obtaining these issues does so with extreme care and financial fortitude.”
The existing population of these pieces today survives from those few coins obtained by contemporary collectors, or from a small additional number of pieces that have been found in Europe. According to Roger Burdette, the maximum number of 1929 double eagles that could have survived is 1,176 pieces with the estimated survival of only 350 pieces.

The current PCGS population is 88 with 44 graded higher.

Listed at $86,400 in the CDN CPG and $90,000 in the PCGS price guide.

Offered at $81,000 (Bank Wire, ACH, Delivered)

Just 3 Graded Higher – 1929-D Standing Liberty Quarter PCGS MS66FH

Sirhc

From a relatively small mintage of just over 1.3 million pieces, the 1929-D Standing Liberty quarter has earned a reputation for being elusive with Full Head definition, and Gem or better pieces in this classification are scarce. This is one of 20 to have received this grade from PCGS with only 3 graded higher – each of the latter being MS66+.

Listed at $12,000 in the CDN CPG and $16,000 in the PCGS price guide.

Offered at $11,150

1929 Indian Half Eagle PCGS MS65

Sirhc

None Graded Higher

Only the Philadelphia Mint coined gold in 1929, and production was focused on the double eagle denomination. The 1929 half eagle is, in terms of total population, the rarest Indian Head five in the series. Several hundred pieces survive, primarily in Mint State, since this issue never circulated. However, the PCGS population report shows only 12 at this grade level with NONE HIGHER. Nor has NGC graded any higher, either. In other words, an MS65 is as good as it gets for this date. This one is lustrous and attractive.

1929 Indian Half Eagle PCGS MS64

Sirhc

Last Year-Of-Issue Rarity

The Indian Head half eagle series was short-lived. Yet, it comprised a number of highly elusive dates, none more so than the 1929. Although the 1909-O is perhaps more recognizable to the uninitiated thanks to its low mintage of 34,200 coins, the 1929 is rarer in the absolute sense with a survival rate approximately 50% lower than its New Orleans counterpart. The Mint struck 662,000 five-dollar gold pieces that year, but nearly the entire mintage was held in reserve and eventually melted after the Gold Recall of 1933. Coins that avoided the melting pot are apt to be found in AU to Uncirculated condition, generally MS61 to MS63.
