Lot Description

Offered is a highly desirable Select Mint State example of this key date double eagle issue. Light honey-rose color dominates the appearance. Sharply struck in virtually all areas with full mint luster. Far scarcer than a mintage of 3,049,500 pieces might imply, the 1924-D is one of many late date Saint-Gaudens double eagles that suffered a high rate or attrition through melting during the late 1930s. Several thousand examples were exported, however, and repatriations in recent decades account for the vast majority of survivors. With Gems prohibitively rare, this solidly graded MS-63 represents a significant opportunity for advanced gold enthusiasts.
