Description

# 1926-S Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle. NGC MS-64 | Exceptional Pre-1933 Gold Rarity. This lustrous 1926-S Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle represents a prime example of San Francisco Mint gold coinage from the roaring twenties. Struck during a pivotal era in American numismatic history, this $20 gold piece showcases the iconic design by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, widely considered the most beautiful of all U.S. gold coin designs. The specimen exhibits brilliant prooflike surfaces with exceptional eye appeal, characteristic of the finest examples from this challenging pre-Depression era mintage. NGC certification confirms the coin's outstanding *MS-64* grade, placing it among the upper echelon of surviving specimens. With a population of just 450 coins at this grade level, and only 1,250 graded higher, this example represents a significant opportunity for the discerning gold coin collector. Technical Specifications: - Mint: San Francisco (S). - Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper. - Designer: Augustus Saint-Gaudens. - Diameter: 34mm. - Weight: 33.436 grams. - Certification: *NGC MS-64*, #8208385007. A superb representative of this classic Pre-1933 U.S. gold coinage, combining numismatic significance with exceptional preservation and aesthetic quality.
