1927-S Double Eagle, AU58+
Sole Finest AU-Level Coin at PCGS

1927-S $20 AU58+ PCGS. CAC. The 1927-S Saint-Gaudens double eagle was part of the large gold melts that took place in the mid 1930s. Most of the more than 3.1 million coins struck were destroyed, leaving a survivorship estimated at only about 300 coins in all grades. Per Roger Burdette in Saint-Gaudens Double Eagles, this likely included 169 coins that were placed with the Mint Cashiers at San Francisco and Philadelphia to be paid out in normal business.

This is the only AU58 example with CAC approval, and it is the only AU58 coin at PCGS with a Plus designation. Satiny sun-gold surfaces display significant luster and well-defined motifs, with only slight high-point friction evident. We have seen a number of coins slabbed as Mint State that did not match this coin's eye appeal. CAC: 1 in 58, 23 finer (1/23).(Registry values: N4719)
