This important offering is for a high quality example of an elusive, late date mintmarked issue in the Saint-Gaudens double eagle series. Smartly impressed and fully lustrous, both sides also deliver attractive color in deep, rich, honey-rose.<p>The 1924-S is one of several mintmarked double eagles from the Roaring Twenties that was exported in limited quantities, most of the 2,927,500 pieces struck retained in federal vaults until destroyed through melting in 1937. During the middle decades of the 20th century this issue was regarded as a major numismatic rarity, but today several hundred examples are known, most repatriated from European and other bank holdings. Superior to many survivors, this impressive piece combines absolute and condition scarcity and is sure to see spirited bidding among astute numismatists.
