<Our item number 118156><B>1925-S &#36;20 St. Gaudens. PCGS graded MS-63.</B> A hint of light gold toning with a coppery orange halo outlining the rim. Attractive for the grade. While the 1924-D, 1924-S, and 1925-D are similar in their availability in Mint State &#40;less often found in circulated grades&#41;, the 1925-S reverses this trend since most are seen with some degree of wear, and is one of the tragedies in the life of an earnest double eagle collector hoping to complete a set in full Mint condition. We&#39;re very sorry, but it can&#39;t be helped. In the choicer Mint State grades, we should point out, the &#39;25-S is one of the rarest Saint-Gaudens double eagles. This is an eye-catchingly attractive coin that collectors will appreciate, and also a scarce once at this Brilliant Uncirculated grade level. Inspection reveals few abrasions of any size, and the color is a rich blend of orange-gold and honey-gold shades with the aforesaid deeper color highlighting the stars. With the exception of the low er obverse devices and the toes on liberty &#40;which are typical areas of striking softness&#41;, every feature is nicely detailed. The rolled or beveled rim on the reverse is a feature seen on many San Francisco Mint double eagles. <B>Pop 74; 25 finer</B> <B>&#40;PCGS # 9182&#41;</B>. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;18,000-19,000. <I><BR>The Dr. Robert Hesselgesser Collection.</I> <BR><BR>Our item number 118156<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/42jpegs/118156.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/42jpegs/118156N2.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/42jpegs/118156N3.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
