Description
The 1931 (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 106,500, this is a scarce issue — the scarcer of two mint variants, with 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. Struck during the Great Depression, when mintages dropped sharply and the United States abandoned the gold standard in 1933. Struck at the Denver Mint, established in 1906 from an earlier assay office that processed Colorado gold rush metal. Estimated market value ranges from $18K to $101K 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 #9193.
