My 1st Pre 33 US Gold Coin

Hello my friends and Happy Holiday's!

My Christmas present came a little early this year. Probably because I paid Santa to 3 day Air mail it

Some of you will be pleased to know that I have met my goals in the Silver Bullion department, so I won't be tormenting you with posting World Silver coins as much With this out of the way I am now turning my attention to Pre 33 US gold , European Sovereigns and of course early American Coinage.

Without further ado , here she is, my first Pre 33 US gold piece.




It's a common date but, it's still a Saint!
With a total mintage of just under 3 million
It is estimated that only 10% or less of the remaining 1927 Saint Gaudens are in mint state.




Not to shabby!

Super sweet and what a nice present! Congratulations on receiving this beautiful coin. May it be the first of many. Now I want one.

 

Thank you.

 

Thank you CN.
I hear they are like Doritos, you can't have just one
Once you break the ice there is No going back
One leads to another ......

 

MS63 or AU condition ?

Congrats on the coin !! If you want to read more about Saints, the Heritage Archives have great write-ups or you can read Bower's Red Book on Double Eagles or more details from Roger Burdette's Saint-Gaudens DE book.

 

Very nice. Great shape. I've never owned a Saint. Maybe one day.

 

Thanks Gold Finger. I actually have a copy and have just started reading it again. It's the book to have on Saints I hear

 

It's a 65 my photos aren't the greatest.

 

I've also been sampling some European Sovereigns.
When you can acquire decent specimens for just over melt you gotta love them.
*the 1915 20 Corona is a restrike

 

I have been waiting to start collecting Pre 33 gold for awhile now. So I wanted to go big, to start things off. Plus I know, if I started with the smaller denominations, it would be years (or never) before pulled the trigger on buying a Saint. I think I may obsessive compulsive or something lol

 

Congratulations, pretty pieces!!!

 

Thank you Skyman.

 

@Eric the Red congrats on fulfilling one wish. I hope the rest of your acquisitions are as jaw dropping. Beautiful DE.

 

Much obliged Masterswimmer.

 

@Eric the Red
Its a beauty.
And those Europeans seem like good value
