.
NGC graded MS-65
. Well struck and very frosty
and this is one of the very finest known. Surpassed by a
single coin as MS-66 and one with the NGC star for eye
appea at the same grade levell, that makes the present
offering well worth notice and an exceptional bid. While the
world was focused on the unfolding war in Europe, this
double eagle was struck and carefully preserved, unlike vir-
tually every other example struck in 1914 of this denomina-
tion. An outstanding coin for the specialist. Only 95,250
struck.
Pop 29; 2 finer, 1 in 65 Star, 1 in 66.

PCGS graded MS-64 PQ.
CAC APPROVED
. A hint of
light golden tone. Merely 11,166 examples are estimated to
have survived and while scarce this night, this issue is quite
challenging to find even a single grade point finer. It is curious
that the Philadelphia Mint production for this issue was so low,
only 95,250 pieces, yet the Denver and San Francisco branch
mints multiples of this figure in 1914. This must have been the
result of regional demand being far higher where those mints
are located, while demand from the east must have been slow
tha year.

1915-S
.
PCGS graded MS-65
. Incredible multi colored toning
dazzles the viewer on first glance. This flashy gem is very
attractive and appears to practically jump out of the holder with
its blazing luster and regal appearance. Although plentiful at
this grade level this date and mint is seldom found much finer
than seen here. (
