Lot Description

A fully original, boldly struck example with bountiful mint luster to light pinkish-gold surfaces. A popular issue for advanced gold type purposes, the 1912 is the first Saint-Gaudens double eagle with 48 stars around the obverse periphery. Circulation strike coinage for the date is limited at just 149,750 pieces produced, and Mint State survivors are scarce in the context of this series.
