1914 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle, MS65
CAC-Approved Gem

1914 $20 MS65 PCGS. CAC. Ex: Fox. From a low mintage of 95,250 pieces, the 1914 Saint-Gaudens double eagle is not difficult to locate in lower grades, but the issue is scarce at the MS65 level, and finer coins are condition rarities. This impressive Gem displays sharply detailed design elements throughout, with vivid orange-gold surfaces that are virtually flawless. Vibrant mint luster adds to the outstanding eye appeal. Population: 40 in 65 (3 in 65+), 5 finer. CAC: 5 in 65, 2 finer (1/20).

David Akers (2012) Comments:
Among the 54 issues of the Saint-Gaudens double eagle series, the 1914 had the sixth lowest mintage after the High Relief, 1908-S, 1913-S, 1909-D and 1930-S in that order. These six issues are, in fact, the only ones in the series with mintages lower than 100,000 pieces. Among the nine early P-Mint issues from the 1908 With Motto to the 1915, the 1914 is in the middle of the pack rarity-wise. It is easily obtainable in any mint state grade short of the gem levels and even gem MS65 specimens, though certainly rare, do come on the market from time to time. At the gem level, the 1914 is more or less on a par with the 1911, 1912 and 1915, less rare than the 1909, 1909/8 and 1913, and more rare than the 1908 With Motto and 1910. Superb examples grading MS66 are extremely rare with only 3-5 specimens known.
