1025The Midwest Summer Sale 2014 on 07/18/2014$1,750.00
1915-S PCGS MS-65.
Unexpectedly sharp details emerge from under a loupe, showing that San Francisco was producing high-quality double-eagles in 1915, as even Liberty's facial features can be readily seen, as can...
1276The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/26/2013$1,350.00
1915-S MS-63.
Arlington, TX Bank Box Consignment. A charming coin made all the more appealing as it retains an original flip that states what the coin retailed for decades ago: $63.50. No grade was offered at...
1277The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/26/2013$4,400.00
Three 1915-S NGC MS-64.
Samuel Robertson Gold Consignment. Stable patina will seem immediately evident as all these exhibit pleasing, rich royal-gold with no unexpected copper spots to detract. The coin in slab 223342-003...
1278The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/26/2013$1,750.00
1915-S NGC MS-64.
Samuel Robertson Gold Consignment. Generally modest quality for MS-64 with a number of tiny ticks lined down Liberty's shin. Broad luster bands illuminate the obverse, and the reverse shines with...
1279The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/26/2013$1,500.00
1915-S NGC MS-64 (no line).
Barbara U'Dell Gold Collection. Hands-down an exceptional piece for MS-64, the entire coin glows with very bright, beautiful yellow-gold luster highlighted by butterscotch toning in the fields. This...
1016The Collectors' Auction 2012 on 10/05/2012$1,700.00
1915-S NGC MS-63.
Exceptionally well struck, the devices are definitely sharper than what one might expect from a branch-mint Saint. Marvelous original quality encompasses ideal medium-gold patina and a dabble or two...
1017The Collectors' Auction 2012 on 10/05/2012$1,725.00
1915-S PCGS MS-64.
Extremely well struck, Liberty's facial details look perceptibly sharper than what is normally expected of a "common date" Saint. Each side displays the expected number of small contact marks and...
1037The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012$1,550.00
1915-S PCGS MS-62.
Noisy surfaces are all that compromise upgrade consideration, as the coin otherwise gleams with fantastic luster.
1038The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012$1,600.00
1915-S PCGS MS-63 (rattler).
There is no grade for which 1915-S could be considered a key Saint, but at least this nicer MS-63 has something a little "extra" going for it. A threadlike strikethrough passes over "L" in LIBERTY....
1039The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012$1,600.00
1915-S PCGS MS-64.
Befittingly sharp for MS-64, high points of the design elements suggest faint roll friction. A couple of small, curving scrapes on the obverse account for the grade.
1040The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012$1,650.00
1915-S PCGS MS-64.
Undeniably attractive from a technical standpoint due to extremely well struck design elements, each side also exhibits decent luster, with stronger cartwheel energy visible on the reverse. No spots...
666The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011$2,100.00
1915-S NGC MS-65.
1915-S is relegated among the "common dates", but shows up less often than the really common Saints, especially at MS-65. The matte texture seen here is typical of the date, although the locomotive...
1252The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011$1,400.00
1915-S Uncirculated details/cleaned.
Light cleaning is virtually unnoticeable, with no impact at all on the strong luster. With few marks to detract, the overall appearance would be that of MS-62 without such caveat, making for an...
1253The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011$3,500.00
Two 1915-S PCGS MS-63 (green label).
One coin has a nicely doubled mintmark. Interestingly, and purely by coincidence, both coins have a carbon spot in identical position on Liberty's right (observed) knee. Two coin lot.
1254The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011$4,100.00
Two 1915-S NGC MS-65.
Without question, the most favorable aspect is the identical and strictly original surface quality seen across both coins, giving them the appearance of near twins. One coin has an unexpected gash...
1255The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011$2,000.00
1915-S NGC MS-65.
There was a time when gold coins with exquisite, original surfaces like this might have had trouble attaining GEM grades, because such extensive patina tends to cloak luster to some extent. But...
1256The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011$2,000.00
1915-S PCGS MS-65.
Luster seems to be a little subdued by a slight milky haze that is most noticeable in the obverse left field, but this in now way impedes appreciation of generally sharp details. Some spindly...
983The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010$1,500.00
1915-S NGC MS-64.
1915-S is lumped in as bullion along with other "common" dates, but appears on the market to a much less prevalent degree than, say, 1924 or 1927. A delightful strike has filled this example with...
1193The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010$1,350.00
1915-S PCGS MS-63.
Details are unusually sharp for 1915-S, and considering the booming luster, there is no doubt that a powerful strike produced this beauty. Carefully preserved, the surface display fully original...
1072The Midwest Winter Sale 2009 on 02/13/2009$1,700.00
1915-S NGC MS-65.
Some two-toned patina exerts influence around the obverse, ceding to typical yellow-gold nearer Liberty's portrait. Spindly die cracks can be seen traversing the sun on the reverse.
1054The Midwest Winter Sale 2008 on 02/08/2008$5,000.00
1915-S and four additional certified Saint-Gaudens double-eagles Unc
Dates included in this lot are 1915-S (PCGS MS-63), 1922 (PCGS MS-62), 1923 (NGC MS-63), 1924 (PCGS MS-63) and 1924 (PCGS "rattler" MS-64). An impressive quintet of solid American gold. Five coin...
1055The Midwest Winter Sale 2008 on 02/08/2008$975.00
1915-S Saint-Gaudens double-eagle, NGC MS-63
Smoothly textured and a bit better struck than average, with abundant mint luster.
1185The Midwest Summer Sale 2007 on 07/27/2007$675.00
1915-S NGC MS-63.
A gleaming golden radiance from this San Francisco issue projects an intense cartwheel aspect. Meagerly marked surfaces are complemented by needle sharp design elements.
480The Collector's Auction on 10/20/2006$650.00
1915-S NGC MS-63.
A glowing orange-gold glow emits from the velvetlike-textured surfaces of this popular date. With only a paltry sprinkling of ticks observed, this specimen portrays a handsome appeal.
481The Collector's Auction on 10/20/2006$925.00
1915-S NGC MS-64.
The gleaming surfaces are enhanced by an orange-gold cartwheel appeal. There are only a minimal number of contact ticks that prevent this strongly struck example from grading MS-65.
660The Midwest Summer Sale 2006 on 07/21/2006$800.00
1915-S NGC MS-64.
A delicate orange-gold blush blankets this San Francisco issue's handsome, satiny textured surfaces. A few random ticks are noted on this predominately well-struck specimen.
1250The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/17/2006$625.00
1915-S NGC MS-63.
Two words come to mind when looking at this coin: Super Duper. Its color is that of the inside of a ripe Georgia Peach that was freshly picked. Its strike detail is as sharp as the picture on my new...
