Designer's initials, IIRC.

 

ASG ? Augustus Saint Gaudens ?

 

Where do you get ASG from AC?

 

Even though I personally don't see it , It is supposed to be ASG, I see it as ASC?

 

the 1927-D Saint-Gaudens double eagle described in the book as "the rarest gold coin of the 20 th century and the rarest coin of any denomination or metal from this century."

 

whats this worth?

 

The owner of this coin knows exactly what they have..I would be interested to know what they paid..

 

In 1995 has one sold for 390,500...and you need to know what those initials are..lol Is this yours or are you looking to help someone else find out information?

 

How did you not see the "S" in there ?

 

The coin in the OP is a 1927, not 1927-D. The 1927 Philadelphia issue is one of the most common Saint Gaudens $20s.

 

could be this one though...

I did, you are correct 900fine...

 

My mother has gone into a nursing home and I am trying to put her affairs in order. I ran into this coin amongst others in her safety deposit box. If you have a value that I can attach to this coin it would be helpfull.

Thanks

 

We'd need more pictures of it, as to be able to grade it accurately. Take them straight on with a decent camera... the camera you used for that first shot looks like a good camera to take it with.

It appears to be from the Philadelphia mint, which makes it worth, at the very least, $1,360. In MS60 (The lowest quality mint-state) it will fetch around $1,600.

It's a very nice coin to have regardless of year or mint mark, imho, and I'd love to own one in the future.

 

Here is the coin...I don't have much of a camera...so I apologize for the poor image. I am not sure what the mark is on the knee of the lady...it's not on the coin...perhaps its the way the light was striking it at the time of the photo. Thanks for any help you can extend for grading

 

It appears to be mounted into some sort of bezel and has been polished mighty thoroughly. If true, then you would be looking at slightly over melt value.

 

I don't think it's mounted in a bezel. It has a latin inscription on the side of the rim "e pluribus un" ( out of many, one) with stars as well.

 

The images you have posted show that the coin has some sort of metal ring around it. Anyway, it has been cleaned so my previous estimate as to value is pretty close.

 

you may be correct on the bezel mount...I see that I covers the stars.
