Lot # Description Grade Hammer Price 2573 1913 Choice Brilliant Uncirculated CH BU $1,700.00 - with significant claims to a yet higher grade. Original mint lustre is frosty in texture and balanced in intensity on this deep orange-gold specimen of this Philly Mint issue. The strike is quite good, with only some of the trifling weakness at head, chest and knee on the obverse, giving this coin a significant boost in eye appeal. Worth only a small premium over its bullion content...  more 2574 1913'S' Choice Brilliant Uncirculated CH BU $3,800.00 - or thereabouts. Here is a playfully toned coin, with deep sunset orange at the peripheries and at the edges of the devices and brighter light gold in the more open areas of the fields. Lustre cartwheels are full and unbroken on this forcefully lustrous survivor of just 34,000 pieces struck of this date. 2575 1914 Very Choice Brilliant Uncirculated VERY CH BU $1,800.00 - or thereabouts. Flashing, cartwheel mint lustre is the defining feature of this medium-gold toned specimen. The strike is bold, with hints of coppery toning filling the crevices of the well-defined devices. Although not a rare date, the 1914 is decidedly scarce at or above the Choice Mint State level. 2576 1914'D' Choice Brilliant Uncirculated CH BU $950.00 - with the visual appeal of a Gem. Vividly coruscating lustre amplifies the breath-taking beauty of rich orange-peel fields and devices of virtually medallic perfection. 2577 1915 Choice Brilliant Uncirculated CH BU $6,000.00 An attractive coppery gold example impressive in terms of originality and absence of blemishes. 2578 1915'S' Very Choice Brilliant Uncirculated VERY CH BU $850.00 Gleaming deepest yellow lustre and orange-peel texture drench both sides of this near-Gem. 2579 1916'S' Very Choice Brilliant Uncirculated VERY CH BU $800.00 - on the cusp of a Gem grade. Deep orange-gold surfaces exhibit the rich, textured mint frost characteristic of this San Francisco mint issue. Well struck and remarkably free of any major bagmarks. 2580 1916'S' CH AU $650.00 Choice About Uncirculated. Subdued lustre and problem-free surfaces characterize this specimen. 2581 1920 Choice Brilliant Uncirculated CH BU $800.00 - with claims to a higher grade. Here is a lovely, light amber gold specimen boasting coruscating mint frost on both sides of its well-preserved faces. Survivors of this scarce Philadelphia issue are often very heavily bagmarked, making this moderately marked specimen very desirable to the Saint Gaudens specialist or connoisseur, who will also recognize the underrated nature of this...  more 2582 1922'S' Choice Brilliant Uncirculated CH BU $11,500.00 - with claims to a full Gem grade. A dramatically sharp strike and saturation by nearly flawless yellow-gold lustre give this coin its forceful appeal. The reverse is fully Gem, while the higher relief and thus more vulnerable obverse has a few minor contact marks on the devices as well as in the fields. The 1922'S' has a high mintage on paper, but in actuality, very few have survived...  more 2583 1923'D' Superb Gem Brilliant Uncirculated SUP GEM BU $2,400.00  Here is a very high quality specimen boasting intense, creamy lustre in the fields. Surfaces are deep orange-gold with lighter salmon-gold areas on both sides. The 1923'D', given its usual high quality and beauty, is an ideal date to include in a Type Set for the With Motto Saint Gaudens type. PCGS MS66. 2584 1923'D' Gem Brilliant Uncirculated GEM BU $700.00 Bright original surfaces create a fantastic visual effect on this date that is often found with such superior lustre and surface quality. 2585 1923'D' Very Choice Brilliant Uncirculated VERY CH BU $1,000.00 Would easily grade Gem if not for a few minor left leg nicks. Typical mint lustre for this date is apparent. 2586 1924 Gem Brilliant Uncirculated GEM BU $1,500.00 - and approaching Superb. Free of any noteworthy distractions, this outstanding example radiates eye appeal. 2587 1924 Gem Brilliant Uncirculated GEM BU $700.00 Immaculate satin-lustrous surfaces are essentially mark-free. 2588 1924 Gem Brilliant Uncirculated GEM BU $1,700.00 A flawless example displaying shimmering cartwheel yellow lustre. 2589 1924 Gem Brilliant Uncirculated GEM BU $1,300.00 A wonderful coin whose strike is jewel-like and whose richly full lustre tends toward red-gold. 2590 1924 Gem Brilliant Uncirculated GEM BU $1,100.00 Here is a specimen whose luxuriant yellow-gold lustre saturates both sides of a meticulous strike. 2591 1924 Gem Brilliant Uncirculated GEM BU $1,300.00 An unblushing Gem offering a near-medallic strike and richest satiny lustre. 2592 1924 Gem Brilliant Uncirculated GEM BU $1,100.00 Glittering mint lustre glows in the silky smooth fields of this well-struck, very attractive type coin.
