1924-D Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle. MS-61 (NGC). OH. Offered is an attractive Mint State example of an elusive mintmarked double eagle issue from the 1920s. Fully lustrous with vivid brilliant golden patina, both sides also have bold striking detail throughout most of the design elements. Far scarcer in numismatic circles than a mintage of 3,049,500 pieces might imply, the 1924-D is one of many late date Saint-Gaudens double eagles that suffered a high rate or attrition through melting during the late 1930s. Several thousand examples were exported, however, and repatriations in recent decades account for the vast majority of survivors. A significant offering that is sure to catch the eye of advanced specialists. PCGS# 9178. NGC ID: 26G8.<p><strong>To view all items from the Augustana Collection, click <a href="https://auctions.stacksbowers.com/lots?sort=auction_date_lot_number_asc&search=the+Augustana+Collection&limit=36&lots_range=upcoming"> here.</a></strong> From the Augustana Collection.
