详细说明

Simply outstanding quality for this otherwise readily obtainable double eagle issue. The surfaces are highly lustrous with a smooth, satiny texture that borders on pristine. Rich rose-orange color throughout, both sides are wonderfully original and offer outstanding eye appeal. Full striking detail with razor sharp design elements adds to the desirability of this dazzling Superb Gem.<p>The 1924 is one of several post-1916 issues in the Saint-Gaudens double eagle series that was exported in quantity. This is fortunate for today's collectors since the coins that were shipped overseas escaped the fate of the gold coins that remained in federal vaults - mass destruction through melting in 1937. Widely represented in repatriations beginning in the mid to late 20th century, the 1924 has become one of the most plentiful Saint-Gaudens double eagles. Mint State examples abound, although we caution bidders that at the Superb Gem level even this otherwise common issue develops into a significant condition rarity. The present offering represents a significant bidding opportunity that will appeal to advanced collectors.
