1914 Saint Gaudens Double Eagle PCGS MS65+

Sirhc

One of the Very Finest

The 1914 is a relatively low-mintage issue, boasting a production total of only 95,250 coins. These were produced chiefly for the purpose of backing gold certificates being issued for circulation. Most surviving coins, repatriated from overseas, are extensively bag-marked from repeated moving and jostling in bags. In Saint-Gaudens Double Eagles, Roger Burdette reasons that most of the high-grade survivors known today came from the same few bags that received less movement throughout their life. A few high-grade pieces may also trace their origins to collectors who acquired them directly from the Mint Cashier in the United States. The one offered here boasts clean surfaces with a satin-like texture. Only 8 have been graded higher by PCGS.

1909-D Saint Gaudens Double Eagle NGC MS65+

Sirhc

This Saint is Tough!

The 1909-D Saint-Gaudens double eagle is a better date, due to its small mintage of 52,500 coins. The surviving population is estimated at roughly 1,200 coins, of which the finest pieces either came from South American holdings or were preserved by a few numismatists from the Mint Cashier. European coins were usually jostled in storage, making low grades the norm from that source. The NGC population is a mere 1 with 2 higher.

1907 Wire Edge High Relief Double Eagle PCGS MS66

Sirhc

A Gorgeous One

The 1907 High Reliefs are generally acknowledged as THE most beautifully designed circulation strike U.S. coins. They were the result of collaboration between sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens (who was encouraged to develop the design by President Theodore Roosevelt) and Chief Engraver Charles Barber of the Philadelphia Mint.  Each coin required three blows from the 150-ton medal press to completely bring up the design, and the planchets had to be annealed between each blow. The average time needed to strike each individual coin was 12 minutes, clearly too slow to strike any large number of coins. By running three medal presses simultaneously and scheduling numerous overtime shifts, the Mint was able to produce a reported 12,367 pieces, before production ceased in early January, enough to satisfy Roosevelt’s desire to showcase the new design to the world.

1924-S Saint Gaudens Double Eagle NGC MS65

Sirhc

Major Rarity

Despite a large original mintage, the 1924-S Saint-Gaudens double eagle is scarce in all grades in today’s market, and Gems are major rarities. Most of the mintage was melted after the Gold Recall of 1933, rendering the official production figures irrelevant. Fortunately for present-day collectors, a number of coins were discovered in European banks, beginning in the 1950s, causing this and many other Saint dates to become more available. On the other hand, when collectors seek an MS65 example, they find the situation has changed little from the early days of the 1940s. That is because coins found in European holdings were subjected to the rigors of transport and storage with other large gold coins and few escaped without significant surface marks. The NGC population is just 19 with 2 higher.
