Saint-Gaudens Double Eagles
1924-S $20 MS65 NGC. The 1924-S was at one time considered to be among the rarest of all double eagle issues, outranking "the famous MCMVII Ultra High Relief and the incredible Proofs of 1883 and 1884," in the words of Q. David Bowers' double eagle Guide Book. Thanks to repatriations from overseas hoards, today the 1924-S is only considered "very rare," but it remains illustrious and noteworthy in Gem condition. This exceptionally pleasing specimen is well defined, with bright, sparkling honey-gold surfaces that are nearly abrasion-free except for a few inconsequential bagmarks. As a testament to its rarity and desirability, both NGC and PCGS have each graded only a single specimen finer. Census: 20 in 65 (1 in 65+), 1 finer (10/16).
Ex: Santa Clara Signature (Heritage, 11/2000), lot 7361; FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2001), lot 8494; Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 6/2006), lot 9399; Central States Signature (Heritage, 4/2002), lot 7560; FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2003), lot 9362; Portland Signature (Heritage, 3/2004), lot 6592; Denver Signature (Heritage, 8/2006), lot 5725; FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2008), lot 3386.
