Saint-Gaudens Double Eagles
1925-D $20 MS64 PCGS. The 1925-D Saint-Gaudens used to be far more elusive to a previous generation (or two), but today overseas repatriations have made the issue more available. But there is a second theme in the counterpoint: The easy discoveries of European and Latin American hoards have been long since made. In the case of the 1925-D, the near-Gem level is about the highest obtainable for most collectors, as the Gem populations thin out markedly at both PCGS and NGC. This MS64 coin offers frosty luster over sharply struck surfaces. A couple of ticks on Liberty's cheek and forehead are among the few marks on each side that keep this piece from the Gem level, but the eye appeal is grand. PCGS has a skimpy seven submissions finer (3/17).
