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.

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.

Gem Saint Rarity – 1924-D Saint Gaudens Double Eagle PCGS MS65

Sirhc

The last decade of Saint-Gaudens double eagle production can be classified broadly as having resulted in three distinct types of issues. The first are mass-produced and readily available Philadelphia issues struck from 1924 through 1928. Those five dates accounts for hundreds of thousands, if not millions of high-grade Saint-Gaudens twenty dollar gold pieces on the secondary market. The second group includes the scarce, heavily melted branch mint issues manufactured during that same span, including the 1924-D, 1924-S, 1925-D, 1925-S, 1926-D, 1926-S, 1927-D, and 1927-S. All of those issues can prove challenging, some more so than others (like the 1927-D), and none are nearly as accessible as their generally substantial mintages suggest. The third group combines both Philadelphia and branch mint issues. It includes the five final “collectible” Saint-Gaudens twenties struck from 1929 to 1932 plus the essentially unobtainable 1933.
The 1924-D ranks among the most accessible of those branch mint melt rarities. Roger Burdette notes that all but 13,229 of the 3 million coins struck were melted as part of the Gold Act of 1933, and 217 additional coins were melted for assay purposes. Burdette explains that a number of coins were shipped to Europe for use in international payments and writes: “A number of small hoards of the 1924-D were uncovered in Europe in the 1950s, 1960s, and even in the 1970s.” About 1,200 examples are believed to survive, nearly all of which are found in grades up to and including MS64 but rarely higher. The PCGS population is 10 with 6 graded higher.  

Listed at $168,000 in the CDN CPG and $175,000 in the PCGS price guide.

1910-D Saint Gaudens Double Eagle NGC MS67

Sirhc

1 of Just 2 So-Graded

The Denver Mint coined a substantial number of double eagles in its fifth year of operation, 429,000 according to Mint records, and surviving specimens are plentiful in all grades through MS65 and somewhat available at the MS66 level. However, finer pieces are rare. There are no reports of hoards in the literature, although repatriated European and South American exports undoubtedly account for most Mint State pieces known today. The NGC population is just 2 with none higher.

1918/7-D Buffalo Nickel NGC AU58

Sirhc

Nearly New Buffalo Rarity

Towards the end of World War I, with new personnel taking the place of seasoned technicians that were serving in the army and an unprecedented demand for small change, it is not surprising that some errors were made in the preparation of dies for coinage. The 1918/7-D overdate occurred when a die bearing the 1917 date was hubbed with another die that bore the 1918 date when dies for the following year’s coinage were being prepared. The resulting overdate is one of the keys to the Buffalo nickel series and examples have been avidly sought since the issue was discovered in the early 1930s. In hand, this specimen is somewhat lighter and brighter than seen in our images.
