***Auction Highlight*** 1887-s Rainbow Toned Morgan Dollar $1 Graded Choice Unc By USCG. Up for Auction is one of the Key dates to the Saint-Gaudens $20 Gold Double Eagle Series. The 1925-s. The 1925-S presents an interesting anomaly in the Saint-Gaudens series. It has the third highest mintage with more than 3.7 million pieces produced, and at the same time it is also one of the great absolute as well as condition rarities in the series. In their gold coin Encyclopedia, Garrett and Guth write: "The tremendous mintage reported for the 1925-S double eagle should be disregarded, as most of this issue ended up being melted in the 1930�s�. Probably around 300-350 pieces are extant today in MS60 and above condition. For the collector of rare Saints, that means when one of these coins becomes available (regardless of grade), it would be wise to buy it as the opportunity to acquire a better coin may not present itself for many years. The 1925-S is similar in condition rarity to the 1924-S and 1926-D, but it is clearly not the absolute rarity that the '26-D is. The 1925-S, like the '26-D, was never found in overseas holdings of double eagles, explaining in great part why these two issues are so rare.
