Description

1909-S Saint Gaudens Gold Double Eagle NGC MS62 Choice Eye Appeal PQ+.
Fresh to the market and recently back from NGC Certification. This better date is really rare to find in NGC MS62 condition . Only 2,774,295 were minted, many were melted down and never circulated. To hind high grade San Francisco Mint coinage is near impossible.
Created by master sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, the 1909-S Gold Saint Gaudens is the descendant of the Liberty Double Eagle which first entered circulation in 1850. The denomination was created as a means of exhausting an overage in gold supply due to the 1849 California Gold Rush. They were never intended for general use in commerce as the amount easily equated to a month's wage during the time of issue - making them impractical to carry as a coin. Instead, they were struck to monetize the surplus of gold and to be used exclusively in business transactions, largely between banks.
