Description
The 1912 St. Gaudens Double Eagle is a Gold Double Eagle produced at the Philadelphia Mint as part of the St. Gaudens Double Eagles 1907-1933 series. With a mintage of 149,750, this is a scarce issue — the higher-mintage of the two mint variants, representing 100% of production. The obverse features Liberty striding forward holding a torch and olive branch, with rays of sunlight behind her — widely considered the most beautiful U.S. coin design and the reverse displays a flying eagle with the rising sun behind it. Produced during the Progressive Era, when President Theodore Roosevelt championed a renaissance in American coin design that produced some of the most beautiful coins ever struck. Struck at the original U.S. Mint facility, in continuous operation since 1792. Estimated market value ranges from $4.9K to $5.9K depending on grade and condition. Struck in 90% gold, 10% copper, weighing 33.4 grams, 34 mm in diameter, with a lettered edge. Cataloged as PCGS #9160.
