Owner Comments:

This coin is a classic example of the beauty of San Francisco gold, with blazing luster that doesn't even begin to show up on these photos! I am not sure why San Fransisco gold seems to have such powerful luster and eye appeal, my guess is that it must have had something to do with the minting process, perhaps the level of polish on dies or the wash used on the planchets before striking, since the actual metal composition must be pretty much identical to the other mints. I have never seen a more beautiful Saint in MS-63 (and I am not saying the grade on the holder is entirely accurate). I've owned higher graded coins of this date, but I am far more proud to showcase this coin in my collection than any of the others I've owned. This one has to be one of my personal favorites.
