This 1925-D Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle, graded MS64 by PCGS, is an exceptional offering for serious collectors and investors alike. With its radiant luster and near-pristine surfaces, this coin captures both the elegance of Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ design and the energy of the Roaring Twenties, the era in which it was minted.

Struck at the Denver Mint, the 1925-D is a low-survival issue—though 2,938,500 were originally struck, the vast majority were melted during the Gold Recall of the 1930s. It’s believed that most surviving examples were preserved in European bank vaults, particularly in France or Switzerland, before being repatriated decades later. Today, fewer than 1,000 are known, with only about 400 examples in MS63–MS64 grades. In higher grades, the rarity intensifies—with only 14 coins graded MS65, one of which is valued at $140,000.

This coin, one of just 122 graded MS64 by PCGS with only 19 finer, offers a perfect combination of historical importance, visual beauty, and investment potential.
