1926 $20 Gold Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle TDO FS-101 NGC MS65

1926 Saint-Gaudens Triple Die Obverse

This beautiful 1926 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle comes from a special variety that counts for less than 1% of this graded date, or 0.03% of the 1926 mintage!

A Rare Die Variety

This is a spectacular Triple Die Obverse (TDO) variety with strong tripling along the bottom right of the obverse on the date, the sun rays and the designer’s monogram. It is listed as TDO FS-101 Saint-Gaudens Gold Double Eagle in the Cherrypickers’ Guide to Rare Die Varieties of United States Coins, an official Whitman guidebook written by Bill Fivaz and J.T. Stanton, hence the “FS” acronym. According to numismatic experts, unusual features like doubled or tripled dies, re-punched mintmarks, and overdates often drastically increase the value of a coin
