Description

# 1926-S Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle. NGC MS-63 | A Lustrous Pre-Depression Gold Rarity. This exceptional 1926-S Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle represents a significant specimen from the San Francisco mint's limited gold coinage during the mid-1920s. Struck during a pivotal era of American numismatic history, this $20 gold piece showcases the iconic Saint-Gaudens design in remarkable preservation. The coin exhibits brilliant prooflike surfaces with exceptional visual appeal, characterized by deep, reflective fields and sharp, intricate design elements typical of the Saint-Gaudens type. Its NGC MS-63 grade indicates superior quality with minimal marks and outstanding eye appeal. The low mintage from the San Francisco mint that year enhances its collectibility and historical significance. Population data reveals the coin's rarity, with only 450 examples graded at this level and just 1,250 specimens in higher grades. Out of an estimated 12,500 total coins graded, this example represents a scarce opportunity for discerning gold coin collectors. The pristine surfaces and numismatic quality make this an important addition to any advanced pre-1933 gold collection.
