1916-S Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle. MS-66 (NGC). Gorgeous vivid reddish-honey patina greets the viewer from both sides of this fully struck, highly lustrous example. The 1916-S is the only double eagle of its date, and the final one produced prior to 1920. It is one of the more underrated early date issues in the Saint-Gaudens series from a mintage of 796,000 pieces, Mint State survivors rarer than those of the 1911-D, 1914-D, 1914-S and 1915-S. This is a superior quality Gem that is worthy of the strongest bids.
