1915 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle. MS-65+ (PCGS). A sharp and inviting piece with satiny golden-apricot surfaces. This conditionally rare premium Gem comes down to us from a mintage of just 152,000 pieces, one of the lowest among circulation strike Saint-Gaudens double eagles. Even so, the 1915 is only a median rarity in this series in terms of total number of Mint State coins believed extant. It is similar to the 1914 in this regard, an even lower mintage issue with 95,250 circulation strikes produced. When viewed in the wider context of the 20th century double eagle series, however, the 1915 is scarce in lower Mint State grades through MS-64 and rare at or above the Gem level. Indeed, this is one of the finest examples known to PCGS, and it is a coin that would do justice to an advanced collection of Saint-Gaudens gold. PCGS# 9167. NGC ID: 26FV. PCGS Population: 7; 2 finer (both MS-66).
