TT's $54,000 '27-S MS63 Saint, et al (and some New Year's prose)

("Earlier in April, we also had a winning bid of $54,880 for a 1927-S Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle graded PCGS MS-63," - see paragraph #5 below)


(Irvine, CA) - One of only two known 1993-W one-ounce gold American Eagles graded a perfect PCGS Proof-70 deep cameo sold for a record $36,960 in the Teletrade® Premier Sale on April 23, 2006.

"With only two 1993-W Eagles graded Proof-70, this is the rarest one-ounce gold Eagle in the PCGS Population Report. We had strong bids from 15 different people who wanted this coin, and the auction set a record price for any one-ounce American Eagle," said Ian Russell, President of Teletrade® (www.Teletrade.com).

The pre-sale estimate was $15,000 or more. The $36,960 winning bid paid by the anonymous collector includes a 12 percent buyer's fee.

This is the third record price set in recent Teletrade® auctions for certified, modern coins: $16,240 for a 1971-S Eisenhower Dollar PF-70 DCAM; $10,300 for a 1984-P Olympic gold $10 PF-70 DCAM; and $7,840 for 2001-W one-ounce gold Eagle PF-70 DCAM.

"Earlier in April, we also had a winning bid of $54,880 for a 1927-S Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle graded PCGS MS-63," said Russell. "Obviously, Teletrade® attracts buyers and sellers of classic collector coins as well as modern, certified rarities."

    The '27 Saint is 80 years old,
    the eldest of this bunch,
    and classic I am told.
    The '93 Gold Eagle has 14 years,
    not exactly modern,
    but not old enough for beers.
    The '71-s Ike has counted 36 years,
    since it was first sold,
    and has seen lotsa cheers.
    The '84 Olympic is seeing year twenty-three.
    The '01 Eagle is the youngest of these.
    I'm only 6 years old,
    call me modern if you please.

    Happy New Year to the young,
    and Happy New Year to the bold.
    May you always feel classic,
    but never feel old.
