1909-D Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle. MS-64 (PCGS).

1909-D Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle. MS-64 (PCGS).，Vivid orange-gold patina engages the viewer from both sides of this handsome near-Gem. Boldly struck throughout with a satiny texture from the dies. Although repatriations from European and Latin American bank reserves beginning in the 1960s has made the 1909-D more obtainable than it was in the numismatic market of the early to mid 20th century, the issue remains both scarce in an absolute sense and popular with collectors due to a limited mintage of 52,500 pieces. With Gems exceedingly rare this lovely MS-64 holds particular appeal for the quality conscious bidder.，From the Marc Kravit Collection.，
