- Elusive 1926-D Double Eagle 1926-D Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle. MS-62 (PCGS). CAC. This golden-honey example displays overtones of pale rose patina. It is boldly struck in most areas with full, softly frosted luster. Like many later date Saint-Gaudens double eagles, the 1926-D saw little, if any, actual circulation and its fairly generous mintage of 481,000 pieces can falsely give the impression of a common issue. Instead, these coins were predominantly stockpiled in Treasury vaults until scarcely 10 years later, when almost the entire mintage ended up in the melting pot. Most of the few that survived are in the lowest Mint State grades, with Gem examples extremely rare. Even at the Choice Mint State level the 1926-D can be very challenging, such is the popularity of this series with gold enthusiasts. The lovely coin presented here would serve as a focal point in any cabinet. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - JBR Set. CAC Population: 20 in all Mint State grades. PCGS# 9184. NGC ID: 26GE.
