1907 Saint Gaudens Double Eagle
Arabic Numerals
Once considered a scarcer issue in the early Saint-Gaudens double eagle series, the 1907 Arabic Numerals has been widely represented in foreign bank hoards, and the Mint State population is now in the range of 45,000 to 60,0000 or more coins (per Q. David Bowers, 2004). This is good for today's collectors, since just about anyone will be able to acquire a high grade survivor of this first year Saint-Gaudens issue.
The example to the left was sold by Stack's Bowers Galleries in the October 2015 New York Auction, where it realized $42,593.
