1909 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle, MS65
Unheralded Condition Rarity

1909 $20 MS65 NGC. At the Gem level, the 1909 Saint-Gaudens double eagle is a "sleeper" in the series, with its true rarity overlooked by most collectors. Experts estimate only 20-25 examples survive in MS65, and population data correlates well with this estimate.
The present coin is an impressive, fully struck Gem, with every detail of the intricate design brought up in clear definition. The surfaces are a satiny yellow-gold color, with a tinge of orange. A shallow, horizontal mark in the center of the obverse is the only mentionable flaw on this memorable specimen. Census: 8 in 65, 4 finer (11/09).(Registry values: N7079)
