Description

PCGS 1929 MS 64. An exceedingly rare date in the Saint-Gaudens series due, in part, to the fact that of the 1,779,750 pieces struck for circulation, only a handful were actually released from the Federal Reserve. It is believed that virtually the entire mintage was subsequently melted and now probably resides at Fort Knox. This is a pristine, bright specimen with full mint bloom, pale golden patina, and very few of the troublesome abrasions that plague so many of the extant coins. PCGS (4/94) lists this date as a population 1 in 12, with only 1 higher.
