Description
1929 Double Eagle, Unc Details
Attractive Mint Luster
1929 $20 -- Improperly Cleaned -- NGC Details. Unc. Only
about 350 examples of the 1929 Saint-Gaudens double eagle are
believed to survive. According to vault records, most of the 1929
mintage of this denomination was sealed in a Philadelphia Mint
vault after coinage and not removed until the mid-1930s when it was
melted. Roger Burdette's research puts a hard number on the amount
of coins that were ever available to collectors: 1,176 pieces. Most
of these coins were part of a 1,000-piece shipment that was sent to
the Treasurer's office in March 1929, and this is thought to be the
same source of most surviving examples of the issue.This piece is unworn and frosty with bright yellow-gold color. Scattered abrasions are apparent, but mint luster remains. The cleaning noted by NGC is in the form of some faint lines on each side seen only at certain angles. The cleaning was not abrasive.
