Owner Comments:

This coin has particularly nice eye appeal with a thick original skin and rose-gold tone. Like most 1912 Saints, this coin has a very sharp strike. Akers in his definitive work notes that the 1912 is quite rare in higher grades, despite several hoards recovered from Europe in the late 1960s and early 1970s (most of these had excessive bag marks). This is one of those coins that corresponds to a very historical year, as the Titanic sank on April 15th, 1912. Only one mint produced double eagles this year, and not very many at that.
