Losbeschreibung

Judging by the number of coins produced - 2,938,500 pieces - the 1925-D should be among the more available Saint-Gaudens double eagles. This is most certainly not the case, however, as much of the mintage remained in government storage when gold specie payments were suspended in the early 1930s. These undistributed coins were later melted, mostly in 1937. As a result the 1925-D is among the rarest double eagles of its type, ranking 14th out of 53 issues in the circulation strike Saint-Gaudens series. Most Mint State survivors have been repatriated from overseas, where a small percentage of this mintage was shipped during the early 20th century. A lovely example for the assigned grade, this piece will be just right for an advanced cabinet.
