1922 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle. MS-63 (NGC). Lustrous satin surfaces are sharply struck and expectably smooth for the assigned grade. Apricot and honey-gold shades are accompanied by scattered hints of patina that confirm the originality.<p>Many of the 1,375,500 double eagles that the Philadelphia Mint produced in 1922 were exported during the 1920s. These coins remained as part of foreign bank reserves until after World War Two, when they began to make their way back to the United States. A new-to-market offering for the astute double eagle enthusiast.</p> From the Dr. Paul and Rosalie Zito Collection. Acquired May 9, 1997.
