Gem 1912 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle
Exceptional Frosted Mint Luster

1912 $20 MS65 PCGS. The 1912 Saint-Gaudens double eagle boasts a small mintage of 149,700 pieces. If not for the emergence of several European hoards in the 1960s and 1970s, the issue would be quite rare today. As it is, the date is scarce-to-rare in all grades, and Gem examples are decidedly elusive.
The coin offered here exhibits unusually frosty luster, which tends to overpower the usually seen fine granularity in the fields. Well struck, with a few tiny marks evident in the fields, but none of individual significance. Population: 28 in 65, 5 finer (12/09).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 26FM, PCGS# 9160, GSID# 10139)

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
Weight: 33.44 grams
AGW: 0.9675oz
