1921 $20 MS62 PCGS. If one were to examine mintage figures of Saint-Gaudens Double Eagles in the years prior to 1929, they would never suspect that the 1921 is one of the most challenging issues in the entire series. Federal records indicate that the Philadelphia Mint delivered 528,500 Double Eagles that year. We can only speculate at to what became of most of these coins, but it is likely that most were melted in the 1930s much like late-date branch mints and issues struck from 1929 forward. In overall rarity, the 1921 compares favorably to the 1920-S, although the edge goes to the P-mint issue in higher grades. The emergence of coins from European hoards has only slightly increased the surviving population over the last few decades, with far fewer located from these sources than issues such as the 1924-D & S or the 1925-D & S. What's more, at least half of the survivors are located in circulated grades. This richly colored Mint State example is boldly defined with typical satin-like fields that show scattered abrasions primarily in the areas surrounding Liberty. An important bidding opportunity for either the Double Eagle or 20th century gold specialist. Population: 18 in 62, 10 finer (10/03). Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
