I wouldn't pay anything for it as I detest the mellowed out look. I much perfer St Gauden Double Eagles with blazing gold/bronze luster even if they are a lower grade.

I'm just the opposite. I prefer the mellowed surfaces of original gold rather than the flashy blazing look of freshly dipped gold.

Appears to be the type of coin worth about CDN bid ($1400 ish?).
Note that while the prices of common date saints continue to move upwards, they will swallow up most or all of the premiums afforded to semi-common dates like this....imho.

A classic example is the 1911-s $5 Indian. That was worth $2000 in 2001 while common dates were $850. Today, commons are worth around $2300-2500 while the 1911-s is worth 10% more. This is the vacuum effect of rising gold prices.

My first thought was MS63 or MS64 on this saint. Oops. But an 11-d
is not going to look like a 1923-1928 either.

$20.00 worth of gold- IT does not have that 'look'.

I initially thought it a lower grade as well, but it is a scan, and the coin might have a MUCH nicer overall look in hand. I'd still look for a cleaner example of the date at that grade level, especially on a date thats frequently available in that grade.

in my opinion saints are over valued. they are barely 100 years old.
the coin appears to be, "yawn, another ounce of gold, what is gold worth now"?
i cannot imagine paying more than 1000 for it.

this is said without looking at its mintage or book value.

Only 63-64 money

Thanks for the reply guys.

I just love the comments from all of those guys that dislike Saints.....You know the $20 Saint Gaudens, without a doubt, is recognized throughout the world and is considered by many to be the MOST BEAUTIFUL U.S. coin......Every collector should have one in their collection and obviously I love both the $10 and $20 series.....
