***Auction Highlight*** 1923-p TOP POP Saint-Gaudens $20 Gold Double Eagle Graded ms66 By SEGS. While many 1923 double eagles avoided mass melting in the 1930s, the issue is scarcer than other non-melt Saint-Gaudens twenties in the 1922 to 1928 date range. It is also a notable condition rarity -- scarce in Gem condition, and rare any finer. In lesser grades, the 1923 is considered plentiful and generally follows the market for generic issues.This Premium Gem example is anything but plentiful, and it is of the utmost importance to Saint-Gaudens specialists. Tied for the Finest known at ms66 with none finer known. Silk-smooth surfaces display vibrant orange-gold color, and a needle-sharp strike everywhere except the lower-left border (which has the typical slight softness characteristic of the Philadelphia issue). There are simply no marks of significance, and the eye appeal is extraordinary. At the MS66 grade level, the 1923 is nearly unobtainable -- we encourage advanced double eagle collectors to take note and bid accordingly.
