1928 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle. MS-67 (PCGS). The vibrant yellow-gold color of this Superb Gem is complemented by hints of peach and powder-blue throughout. Satiny luster cartwheels across both dies and remains fully undisturbed by handling. A visually sensational example. The 1928 boasts the highest mintage of any Double Eagle struck by the US Mint, including both the Liberty Head and Saint-Gaudens series. At 8,816,000 pieces struck, this issue is readily available in Mint State up through MS-65. At the Superb level, however, survivors are scarce. With only 13 coins graded finer by PCGS, this is surely an ideal candidate for an advanced Registry Set. From the Naples Bay Collection. From the Naples Bay Collection.
