1929 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle. AU-58 (PCGS). CAC.This vivid reddish-gold example is just a whisper away from Mint State. Both sides are overall sharply defined with nearly complete luster in a lively satin texture. From a mintage of 1,779,750 pieces, the majority of which were melted without ever seeing the light of day. Only a few hundred examples have been certified -- and, of course, many examples have not been -- these coins largely entering the numismatic market in recent decades without fanfare. Once considered a major rarity, the 1929 is now collectible, although hardly common with examples remaining scarce to rare in all grades. This is a premium quality Choice AU that is fully deserving of both the assigned grade and the coveted CAC sticker.From the Magnolia Collection.
