Owner Comments:

This is a very nice common date Saint that I picked up at a reasonable price. It's in an old "rattler" PCGS holder, which is annoying, but I guess I don't have the motivation to have it re-holdered. It is a nice coin though, very smooth luster, and a descent strike. Overall a pretty nice coin. Also, at the Portland ANA in 2004, David Lange looked at this coin and informed me that it was the triple die obverse variety. I don't know how scarce that variety is since I've seldom seen it mentioned, but it does add to the interesting nature of this coin. As for the year, 1926 was the year English humorist and children's storyteller Alan Alexander Milne invented "Winnie the Pooh" to the delight of children across the world, including this one!
