Description
1915 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle, MS65
Low Mintage, Conditionally Rare
1915 $20 MS65 PCGS. The 1915 Saint-Gaudens double eagle has
a the ninth-lowest mintage in the series. The United States put
restrictions on the circulation of gold coinage during the First
World War, and production was correspondingly curtailed during that
time. Roger Burdette explains: "Gold circulation, including coin
and certificates, rapidly declined as the Treasury sequestered
remaining gold coin and certificates from circulation. Pre-war gold
circulation patterns remained, but the volumes were very low, with
paper currency backed by securities replacing gold certificates."
Most 1915 double eagles were shipped to Europe, and the typical
example at PCGS and NGC grades just shy of MS62. An attractive Gem
is the best nearly any collector, no matter how well-financed, can
hope to acquire, as there is but a single MS66 coin at NGC and
three Premium Gems at PCGS (9/25). This condition rarity boasts
lively luster that illuminates boldly impressed relief elements.
Light yellow-gold surfaces show minimal field marks, one of which
inconsequentially obscures a portion of the Capitol dome. An
excellent representative in all regards. Population: 62 in 65 (7 in
65+), 3 finer (8/25).Ex: New York Signature (Heritage, 10/2016), lot 5626.(Registry values: N4719)
