详细说明

1912 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle. MS-64+ (NGC). A gorgeous medium-gold example that flirts precariously close to the Gem category in every respect. The fields exhibit a matte-like luster across each side, showcasing a vacancy of handling and wear throughout. The highest points remain nicely spared from friction, contributing to an overall pristine aesthetic when viewed in hand. The Philadelphia Mint is the only coinage facility that struck double eagles in 1912, comprised of a circulation strike delivery of only 149,750 coins. While several small hoards have been discovered in Europe beginning in the late 1960s, this issue remains scarce in all Uncirculated grades and is seldom offered any finer than MS-63. This MS-64+ example is on the cusp of significant condition rarity for the issue, and gold specialist will surely recognize the desirability of this piece. PCGS# 9160. NGC ID: 26FM.
