- Seldom Offered 1926-D Double Eagle
1926-D Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle. MS-63+ (PCGS). CAC.
This honey-rose example displays sharp striking detail and lovely mint luster. Like many later date Saint-Gaudens double eagles, the 1926-D issue saw little, if any, actual circulation and its fairly generous mintage of 481,000 pieces can falsely give the impression of a common coin. 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 advanced gold enthusiasts. Indeed, we anticipate strong competition for this premium quality offering from the Fairmont Collection.
Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection-Hendricks Set.
PCGS Population: 3; 29 finer (MS-63+ finest). CAC Population: 4; 3. The latter total includes coins certified both MS-63 and MS-63+.
PCGS# 9184. NGC ID: 26GE.
