Description du lot

Softly frosted luster greets the viewer from both sides of this sharply struck, deep honey-orange example. A limited mintage of 161,282 circulation strikes helps to explain why the 1909 is among the scarcer entries in the early Saint-Gaudens double eagle series. When he penned his 2004 reference <em>A Guide Book of Double Eagle Gold Coins</em>, Q. David Bowers provided an estimate of 3,000 to 5,000 Mint State coins extant. This is an endearing Choice example - far finer than most - that will appeal to a wide variety of gold enthusiasts.
