Losbeschreibung

Virtually Unsurpassable 1916-S Double Eagle 1916-S Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle. MS-66 (PCGS). A flashy and impressively preserved example of this challenging issue. The complexion is overall satiny, painted in a mix of deep orange-gold and vivid pinkish-apricot colors. Well produced and visually stunning. The 1916-S is the only double eagle of its date, and the final one produced prior to 1920. It is one of the more underrated early date issues in the Saint-Gaudens series from a mintage of 796,000 pieces, Mint State survivors rarer than those of the 1911-D, 1914-D, 1914-S and 1915-S. Only six coins rank finer than the present example at PCGS, all in MS-66+. PCGS# 9169. NGC ID: 26FX. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
