Description
The 1927 (D) St. Gaudens Double Eagle is a Gold Double Eagle produced at the Denver Mint as part of the St. Gaudens Double Eagles 1907-1933 series. With a mintage of 180,000, this is a scarce issue — the lowest mintage among 3 mint variants, representing only 3% of total 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. The 1927-D is one of the rarest regular-issue Saint-Gaudens with fewer than a dozen confirmed survivors. Struck at the Denver Mint, established in 1906 from an earlier assay office that processed Colorado gold rush metal. Estimated market value ranges from $816K to $1842K 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 #9187.
