- 1925-S Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle. MS-61 (NGC).
An overall boldly defined example with the distinct beveled rims seen on many survivors of this San Francisco Mint. Lustrous orange-gold surfaces with strong eye appeal for the assigned grade. The 1925-S is one of the most challenging Saint-Gaudens double eagles to locate in high grades, a mintage of 3,776,500 pieces concealing its true rarity. Most of the coins struck were retained in federal vaults until destroyed through melting in the late 1930s. Many of the survivors have been repatriated from foreign bank hoards in recent decades, but the numbers involved are limited to the extent that the 1925-S remains elusive in today's market. Furthermore, this is the only mintmarked double eagle of its era for which approximately half of the extant population is circulated as opposed to Mint State. With precious few examples certified in any Uncirculated grade, this endearing piece represents a significant find for the advanced double eagle collector.
PCGS# 9182. NGC ID: 26GC.
