1928 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle. MS-67 (PCGS). Overall golden-tan in color with hints of peach near the centers. Matte-like in the fields with strong luster and traces of original patina. Although not as plentiful as the 1924 or 1927, the 1928 still numbers among the leading type candidates in the Motto portion of the Saint-Gaudens double eagle series. While struck to a quantity of 8.8 million examples, these are seldom encountered finer than MS-65 due to copious bagmarks and other signs of mishandling. The present Superb Gem is a significant offering, with only 13 coins certified finer by PCGS. From the Naples Bay Collection. From the Naples Bay Collection.
