1923 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle. MS-65+ (PCGS).A remarkable example of both the type and issue, this premium quality Gem is sure to see spirited bidding from astute gold collectors. Bathed in handsome rose-gold color, both sides also exhibit strong luster in a billowy satin to softly frosted texture. Sharply struck and visually appealing, only the strongest bids will prevail when this impressive piece crosses the auctioneers block. <p>While the 1923 is part of a run of more available Philadelphia Mint double eagles from the 1922 to 1928 era, it is the rarest issue in this group in the finer Mint State grades. Indeed, premium Gem examples such as this are far scarcer than identically graded examples of the 1925, 1926 and 1928, to say nothing of the 1924 and 1927. The present example is among the finest certified and is sure to appeal to astute gold collectors.PCGS# 9175. NGC ID: 26G5.PCGS Population: 10; 6 finer (all MS-66).
