***Auction Highlight*** 1925-d Saint-Gaudens $20 Graded Select Unc By USCG. Lovely Choice Mint State quality for this challenging Roaring Twenties double eagle issue. Bathed in blended frosty luster and light pinkish-orange patina, both sides are sharply struck from the rims to the centers. Judging by the number of coins produced -- 2,938,500 pieces -- the 1925-D should be among the more available Saint-Gaudens double eagles. This is not the case, however, as much of the mintage remained in government storage when gold specie payments were suspended in the early 1930s. These undistributed coins were later melted, mostly in 1937. As a result the 1925-D is among the rarest double eagles of its type, ranking 14th out of 53 issues among circulation strike Saint-Gaudens coins. Most Mint State survivors have been repatriated from overseas, where a small percentage of this mintage was shipped during the early 20th century. A pleasing example for the assigned grade, this piece will be just right for an advanced cabinet. A Corey's Pick, Bid to Win, Don't let it get Away, you might not find its equal Coin
