Fields and devices are free and clear of all but the most trivial of contact marks, giving this wonderful coin the initial appearance of a much higher grade. 1906 was the inaugural year of the Denver Mint's production; although the Double Eagles from this mint's 1906 issue are not rare, very few were...  more 2552 1907 Gem Brilliant Uncirculated GEM BU $2,200.00 Smooth, deeply glowing lustre combines with a full strike to give this example the undeniable appeal of a yet higher grade.

Double Eagles ($20.00 Gold) → U. S. Saint Gaudens Double Eagles Lot # Description Grade Hammer Price 2553 MCMVII (1907) High Relief, Roman Numeral, Wire Rim. Brilliant Uncirculated BU $21,000.00 - and virtually Choice. To say that this coin is merely lustrous is an serious understatement for this amazingly frosty example. A bold strike has imparted even the smallest of details with great clarity. The honey gold color adds to the overall charm. A wonderful example of what is often deservedly referred to as America's most beautiful coin design. 2554 MCMVII (1907) High Relief, Roman Numeral, Wire Rim. Brilliant Uncirculated BU $15,000.00 The wire rim is nearly full on this vividly struck example, boasting a wealth of minute detail enriched by faintly green-gold lustre of a particularly intense beauty. This edge inscription shows flat, parallel bases on the 'M's.' Improving this softly glowing deep-gold example would be a challenge. 2555 MCMVII (1907) High Relief, Roman Numeral, Flat Rim CH AU $13,000.00 Choice About Uncirculated, on the threshold of full Mint State. Deep satiny yellow-gold fields highlight the nearly medallic quality of this coin's exacting strike. If this delightful example of Saint Gaudens' design circulated at all, it must have been only for a matter of days, as its overall quality can only be called exceptional. 2556 MCMVII (1907) Roman Numerals, High Relief AU $6,600.00 About Uncirculated in strict terms of wear. Lovely, orange-gold surfaces are quite brilliant and glossy, with hints of glowing, light lustre in the protected areas of the designs and lettering. The surface quality is consistent with previous jewelry use, with many fine tics on all sides, including the edge. This coin probably started out as a Wire Rim, but the rims have since been filed...  more 2557 1907 Arabic Numerals. Choice Brilliant Uncirculated CH BU $750.00 Pale gold lustre with a slight pinkish tint drenches this pleasingly problem-free example of the first date of Saint Gaudens' design with drastically lowered relief. Here is an ideal specimen for either a Type or Date collection. 2558 1907 Arabic Numerals. Brilliant Uncirculated BU $825.00 Pleasingly original surfaces radiate a wealth of canary-yellow lustre for boldest visual effect and undeniable appeal. 2559 1908 No Motto. Superb Gem Brilliant Uncirculated SUP GEM BU $2,200.00 The richest possible lustre provides jewel-like gleam to this needle-sharp example of a popular date seldom encountered at this rarefied grade level. 2560 1908 No Motto. Gem Brilliant Uncirculated GEM BU $1,800.00 Frosty mint lustre completely engulfs the surfaces of this coin for a astounding look. 2561 1908 No Motto. Brilliant Uncirculated BU $700.00 - the reverse fully Choice. Light golden toning over somewhat choppy surfaces. The strike is adequate and the lustre is quite good. 2562 1908 No Motto. Brilliant Uncirculated BU $650.00 A lovely example that is flaxen-yellow with some trivial bagmarks. 2563 1908'D' No Motto. Very Choice Brilliant Uncirculated VERY CH BU $1,500.00 - on the cusp of a Gem grade. The light salmon-gold lustre may be called nothing short of blazing on this well struck and highly appealing example of this issue that is quite scarce in the upper Mint State grades. Surfaces are remarkably free of disfiguring marks, with just a few bag tics and brush marks keeping this from a coveted Gem grade. Simply splendid! 2564 1908'D' No Motto. Brilliant Uncirculated BU $650.00 - and nearly Choice. Attractive pale gold lustre contributes to this coin's visual appeal. 2565 1908'D' With Motto. Gem Brilliant Uncirculated GEM BU $2,000.00 Shimmering lustrous surfaces include satin-smooth fields and devices of nearly medallic quality. The With Motto variants are much scarcer than their No Motto counterparts, especially when offered at this elevated level of quality. 2566 1910 Gem Brilliant Uncirculated GEM BU $1,600.00 The richest imaginable glowing yellow lustre complements this coin's orange-peel fields and crisply defined reliefs. All early Philadelphia Mint issues are scarce in such a lofty state of preservation. 2567 1910 Choice Brilliant Uncirculated CH BU $1,400.00 - with claims to Gem. Crisp and fresh, frosty mint lustre is the defining feature of this scintillating, orange-gold specimen. Well struck and quite attractive, the 1910 is quite scarce when found in the Choice Mint State or better grades. 2568 1910'S' Brilliant Uncirculated BU $700.00 Radiant mint frost surrounds impressively struck devices. 2569 1911 Very Choice Brilliant Uncirculated VERY CH BU $1,800.00 - on the threshold of fully Gem. Here is a shimmering, deep yellow example of the earliest dates, combining rich color and exacting strike for startling appeal. Scarce when offered at this lofty grade level. 2570 1911'D' Brilliant Uncirculated BU $850.00 Softly glowing champagne gold lustre washes over this boldly struck specimen which is virtually free of any distracting marks. 2571 1912 Very Choice Brilliant Uncirculated VERY CH BU $1,800.00 - with claims to a higher grade. Understated yellow-gold lustre and bold strike provide appealing quality. The 1912 issue is readily available in grades approaching Choice Mint State, while higher end Uncirculated examples as this are highly sought for their beauty and scarcity. 2572 1912 Brilliant Uncirculated BU $700.00 A bright example of this early low mintage date.
