1916-S PCGS MS-65. 1916-S PCGS MS-65.
Lot Title: 1916-S PCGS MS-65.
Description: Brock Megran Collection. While lumped together in terms of value with the very common dates in grades below MS-63, 1916-S represents a pleasant departure from the usual available dates at the gem level. At MS-65, it would hardly be considered a key, or even a semi-key, yet it commands really only a modest premium over coins that are literally available by the thousands. PCGS suggests only 1300 or so graded MS-65 or better, while, for example, fifty-THOUSAND 1924 Saints populate the same grades. This example offers intense orange patina over pebble-luster surfaces that seem to be fully original. (PCGS# 009169)

1109The Collectors' Auction 2013 on 10/18/2013$5,000.00
1916-S NGC MS-66.
A ruddy gold complexion suggests outstanding vintage surface quality, with eye-appeal that benefits from very good definition and sharp luster. Intriguing die-polish elevates toward the right through...
1041The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012$1,700.00
1916-S NGC MS-64.
A "common date" in the series, but it is certainly always nice to own a 1916-S to break up the endless parade of 1924 and 1927 bullion pieces! This one displays amazing luster and favorable field...
1194The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010$1,650.00
1916-S PCGS MS-64.
1916-S is priced about the same as any common date in the Saint-Gaudens series, but it seems to show up on the market with much less frequency than the really common dates (like 1924-8). This...
1195The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010$1,800.00
1916-S PCGS MS-64.
Just beautiful butter-gold luster emanates from the fields in shimmering beams of light, gently layered in classic royal-gold patina. Very attractive and finely struck.
1196The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010$2,400.00
1916-S PCGS MS-65.
Even gems are common for 1916-S, and one can always appreciate the Saint-Gaudens design at this grade level. Slight mottling of the golden color is noticeable between the rays and may be evidence of...
926The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010$1,600.00
1916-S NGC MS-64.
Handsome in every respect, but particularly with regard to original patina, as each side is draped in dusky gold. Some interesting mottled texture right of Liberty's torso may be evidence of an...
1073The Midwest Winter Sale 2009 on 02/13/2009$2,000.00
1916-S PCGS MS-65.
This coin exudes the full, softly glowing effulgence that is expected of a branch mint Saint, yet the low contrast surfaces still produce much cartwheel effect. Strike quality is good, though not...
1148The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008$3,050.00
1916-S, 1923 and 1923-D Saint-Gaudens double-eagles.
Although not certified, each member of this trio of common Saints is a nice coin. Included are: 1916-S (MS-62), 1923 (MS-62), and 1923-D (AU-58). Three coin lot.
1195The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$1,400.00
1916-S NGC MS-64.
Dizzying luster twirls around the obverse, while the reverse displays broader bands of cartwheel effect. A few trivial bagmarks are cleverly concealed within the boulder, and another appears almost...
1251The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/17/2006$600.00
1916-S NGC MS-62.
A nice, earlier date Saint that has flashy luster and bright color. There are none of those unwanted copper spots that everyone hates.
1252The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/17/2006$1,000.00
1916-S PCGS MS-64.
The marks and strike are MS-64 quality, but normally Saints given that grade are brighter than this example. That being said, this coin has wonderfully original surfaces that appear to have developed...
1253The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/17/2006$1,000.00
1916-S NGC MS-64.
Plenty of luster is displayed along with a solid strike. When properly tilted in the light, a light layer of haze can be viewed in areas on both size. Appears average for the grade.
