|
1926 and 1927, both NGC MS-64.
|
|
Barbara U'Dell Gold Collection. 1926 displays slightly more brilliance than 1927, but the latter coin possesses very slightly better sharpness overall. Both are pretty double-eagles regardless,... |

|
1926 NGC MS-64+.
|
|
Mike Wrinkle Collection. NGC certainly cut no slack for this one, as it looks just as nice as any MS-65 out there. Either side glows with exemplary, thick satin frost and a fine, subtle touch of... |

|
1926 NGC MS-65.
|
|
Noticeably more attractive than the average bullion Saint, the entire surface is ablaze in fiery orange matte luster. Finely struck overall, even the smallest details in Liberty's face have received... |

|
1926 PCGS MS-63.
|
|
On an Alaskan Island, I thought I was seeing an eye doctor, but it turned out to be just an optical Aleutian. Still, the quality of this MS-63 Saint should be easy for anyone to see. Exuberant... |

| 1032 | The Collectors' Auction 2012 on 10/05/2012 | $1,725.00 |
|
1926 PCGS MS-64.
|
|
Twin contact marks beneath Liberty's outstretched arm may be all that denies upgrade, since the quality is otherwise rather nice. A few small ticks scatter over Liberty's torso. |
|
| 1033 | The Collectors' Auction 2012 on 10/05/2012 | $1,725.00 |
|
1926 PCGS MS-64.

|
Three 1926 PCGS MS-63 (rattler).
|
|
To a coin, the strike quality is exceptional, each displaying superior sharpness for Liberty's facial features. These double-eagles differ slightly in appearance only because one has dead-on classic... |
|
| 704 | The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011 | $3,100.00 |
|
Two 1926 PCGS MS-63 (rattler).
|
|
A pair of nicer (for the MS-63 grade) Saints, both display evidence of multihued gold toning, with butter-gold overtones accenting areas of each obverse. Two coin lot. |
|
| 705 | The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011 | $3,002.00 |
|
Two 1926 PCGS MS-63 (rattler).
|
|
A carbon spot dots the date for one coin, and a dot or two or three of additional carbon appears elsewhere on the obverse. The other coin displays an interesting planchet defect right next to... |
|
| 706 | The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011 | $3,150.00 |
|
Two 1926 PCGS MS-63 (rattler).
|
|
Both examples are blanketed by an intense orange-gold radiance. The surfaces, beside being lustrous, also exhibit a satiny aspect that is quite nice. |
|
| 707 | The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011 | $1,650.00 |
|
1926 PCGS MS-63 (rattler).
|
|
Nicely toned with brassy-gold patina that benefits from steady satin luster. Surfaces are amazingly clean for MS-63, although the strike is very average for a 1926. |
|
| 708 | The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011 | $1,700.00 |
|
1926 DDO PCGS MS-63 (rattler).
|
|
Die doubling is plain on the date, as well as the rightmost five rays on the obverse. In addition, Saint-Gaudens' initials beneath the date are really well doubled, along with other nearby elements. ... |

| 709 | The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011 | $2,100.00 |
|
1926 PCGS MS-64 (rattler).
|
|
Consistently attractive in every regard for MS-64, with beaming cartwheels and pleasing surface quality. The reverse is particularly attractive due to mild gradation, from medium-gold at the edge... |

| 710 | The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011 | $1,650.00 |
|
1926 PCGS MS-64+.
|
|
A gem in every way imaginable save one: an errant bagmark has contorted Liberty's forehead. Ouch, now that's going to leave a headache! But the luster is exciting, the strike superb, and the fields... |
|
| 1278 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011 | $4,850.00 |
|
1926 and two 1927 NGC MS-64.
|
|
Both of the 1927 coins are virtually identical in appearance, except that one has a broad copper spot over Liberty's bosom. The 1926 gleams with nice, hard golden luster. Three coin lot. |
|
| 1007 | The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010 | $2,610.00 |
|
1926 and 1928, both MS-62.
|
|
A pair of Saint-Gaudens double eagles are dated 1926 and 1928, and both are practically choice, blazing beauties with no shortage of eye-appeal. The 1928 is perceptibly a touch nicer than its... |

| 1008 | The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010 | $1,425.00 |
|
1926 MS-63.
|
|
Upgrade from MS-63 is precluded by small scrapes beneath Liberty's chin and at the center of her torso. Glistening luster and bright surfaces are consistent with at least the "choice" BU level. |
|
| 1009 | The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010 | $2,800.00 |
|
1926 double-die obverse. PCGS MS-66.
|
|
Mintage of over 800,000 is much lower than many issues, but a high survival rate makes 1926 a common date in the double eagle series. Still, it appears at auction much less frequently than the really... |

| 944 | The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010 | $1,400.00 |
|
1926 MS-64.
|
|
Probably closer to full gem quality than not, only a singular abrasion on Liberty's left (observed) knee prevents that assessment. Luster flows freely about each side, the fields are immaculate, and... |
|
| 945 | The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010 | $1,500.00 |
|
1926 NGC MS-64.
|
|
Cleaner than expected of MS-64, with a singular tick on Liberty's right (observed) knee providing the most evident distraction. There is a virtually invisible pinscratch that stretches across the... |

| 946 | The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010 | $1,850.00 |
|
1926 PCGS MS-65.
|
|
A glistening gem that generates instant eye appeal with multi-spoked bands of luster and beaming yellow-gold surfaces. While the expense of owning gold means few series in that metal are aggressively... |
|
| 873 | The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009 | $1,250.00 |
|
1926 NGC MS-62.

Indifferently struck and about as abraded as one routinely expects of MS-62. |

| 874 | The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009 | $1,400.00 |
|
1926 NGC MS-63.
|

Abraded slightly more than average for the grade, with the last two digits in the date noticeably smooshed by coin-to-coin contact. |

|
1926 PCGS MS-63 (OGH).

|
1926 PCGS MS-64.
|
|
It has never been made clear to your cataloger whether the numismatic manifestation of Liberty is supposed to represent as a blonde, or a brunette. Can a redhead have golden hair? Yes, she can if... |
|
| 877 | The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009 | $1,750.00 |
|
1926 PCGS MS-64.

Perfectly graded, with just a smattering of smaller abrasions seen across both sides. Housed in a PCGS rattler holder. |

1926 MS-64.

|
1926 TDO FS-101 PCGS MS-64 "CAC."
|
|
Series in which every coin is expensive (which generally means: gold) are seldom collected by die variety, but the Saint Gaudens series does contain a few gems. One is the 1926 FS-101, a tripled-die... |
|
| 1080 | The Midwest Winter Sale 2009 on 02/13/2009 | $1,750.00 |
|
1926 NGC MS-65.
|
|
The strike is above average for the type, but Liberty's lower torso bears several handling marks. A common issue. |
|
| 1081 | The Midwest Winter Sale 2009 on 02/13/2009 | $1,775.00 |
|
1926 NGC MS-65.
|
|
Spinning cartwheel luster is unimpeded by spots or excessive toning. The mildest hint of greenish iridescence can be perceived along the right side of the obverse. |

1926 Saint-Gaudens double-eagle, NGC MS-63

1926 NGC MS-64.

Wholesome straw-gold coloration sparkles nicely in counterpoint against the outstanding strike of this lovely coin. Examination with a glass reveals unusually sharp details in spite of this issue's... |

|
1926 PCGS MS-66.
|
|
Mottled areas of toning really set this coin apart from the rest. Well, that and it is graded MS-66. The reverse has a very cool die crack that starts just below the "U" in "UNITED" and runs through... |
|
| 681 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2006 on 07/21/2006 | $675.00 |
|
1926 MS-63.
|
|
This Saint-Gaudens has the luster of an MS-65. There are a few bag marks on the leg that hold this coin back from loftier grades. This gold piece has that PQ look that collectors for which... |
|
| 682 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2006 on 07/21/2006 | $1,175.00 |
|
1926 NGC MS-65.
|
|
Nicely struck, leaving solid definition on display on both sides. The luster remains radiant and abundant, reflecting a glowing pumpkin gold. A solid MS-65 example. |

Two 1926 NGC MS-65.

An eloquent pairing of above average certified Double Eagles. The one glows with a enhancing yellow-gold, while the other has a satiny orange-gold aspect. The contact marks observed are nominal, and... |

1926 PCGS MS-66.

|
1926 PCGS MS-66.
|
|
A splendid common date example in Gem condition. The delicate satinlike surfaces emanate an enhancing mellowness to its golden aspect. A trite number of ticks are located in the design elements when... |
|
| 1280 | The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/17/2006 | $825.00 |

1926 NGC MS-64.
