Lot Description

Sharply struck with pale apricot patina on golden-wheat surfaces, this lustrous and sharply struck Gem makes a lovely impression in all regards. A beautiful matte-like texture is noted throughout the fields. This is the premier Denver Mint Saint-Gaudens double eagle with the motto IN GOD WE TRUST included as part of the reverse design. Mint State survivors from a mintage of 349,500 pieces are scarce by the standards of the type, Q. David Bowers (2004) accounting for 7,500 to 12,500 or more examples at that level of preservation. This is one of the finer coins known to PCGS, and it would do nicely in a high grade gold cabinet.
