Description
Stunning Superb Gem 1924 Double Eagle.
1924 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle. MS-67 (NGC).
Simply outstanding quality and eye appeal for this otherwise readily obtainable double eagle issue. The surfaces are highly lustrous with a smooth, satiny texture that borders on pristine. Handsome golden-orange patina throughout, both sides are completely original and very attractive. Full striking detail with razor sharp design elements adds to the appeal of this Superb Gem. 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. Mint State examples abound, although at the Superb Gem level even this otherwise common issue develops into a significant condition rarity. A significant opportunity that will appeal to advanced collectors.
PCGS# 9177. NGC ID: 26G7.
