Lot Description

This delightful example exhibits bold rose-orange color to smooth, highly lustrous surfaces. The texture is satiny, the strike is sharp, and the eye appeal is strong.<p>A mintage of 429,000 pieces for the 1910-D is neither abundant nor scanty for a Saint-Gaudens double eagle. Typical of many issues in this series, the 1910-D was exported in quantity with numerous bags remaining in European bank vaults until after World War II. Repatriations since then have been sufficient to make the 1910-D obtainable with ease in grades through MS-63. It can be challenging to locate in grades above MS-64, however, and in MS-65 the issue is scarce. Premium Gems in MS-66 and higher grades are rare, especially relative to the demand that they enjoy among discerning gold collectors.
