1 月 16 日，經過激烈的競價，GreatCollections 以 384 萬美元的價格收購了丹佛鑄幣廠 1927 年發行的一枚罕見的 20 美元金幣。

A rare $20 gold coin issued by the Denver Mint in 1927 sold for $3.84 million after spirited bidding on January 16th at GreatCollections.

丹佛造幣廠於 1927 年發行的一枚罕見的 20 美元金幣，經過 1 月 16 日在 GreatCollections 的激烈競標，最終以 384 萬美元的價格售出。

The 1927-D Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle is one of only a few in private hands. It was graded MS-65+ by Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) and approved by Certified Acceptance Corporation (CAC), the two leading third-party grading services for rare coins.

1927-D Saint-Gaudens 雙鷹是僅有的少數私人收藏之一。它被專業錢幣評級服務公司 (PCGS) 評為 MS-65+，並獲得兩家領先的稀有錢幣第三方評級服務機構認證驗收公司 (CAC) 的批准。

"We are thrilled to have won this Grail of American numismatics. It's a dream coin for collectors, essential for completing a collection of the Saint-Gaudens series. It might be many years before another appears on the market. Our goal was to pay under $4 million, so it worked out perfectly," said Ian Russell, president of GreatCollections.

「我們很高興贏得了美國錢幣學的聖杯。這對收藏家來說是一枚夢想硬幣，對於完成聖高登斯系列收藏至關重要。可能要過很多年才能出現另一枚硬幣。我們的目標是支付低於GreatCollections 總裁 Ian Russell 表示：“400 萬美元，所以效果非常好。”

Only about a dozen 1927-D Saint-Gaudens Double Eagles are known today, out of an original mintage of 180,000. Four are in permanent museum collections, including three examples in the Smithsonian and another in the Museum of Connecticut History. The balance of the original mintage was likely melted following President Franklin D. Roosevelt's 1933 executive order banning private gold ownership.

1927 年 D 聖高登斯雙鷹幣最初的發行量為 180,000 枚，如今已知的只有大約十二枚。其中四件被永久博物館收藏，其中三件在史密森尼博物館，另一件在康乃狄克州歷史博物館。富蘭克林·D·羅斯福總統於 1933 年頒布禁止私人黃金所有權的行政命令後，最初的發行量很可能被融化。

The coin has a pedigree dating back to the 1940s before being acquired by Orange County resident and respected numismatist Dr. Steven Duckor in 1984 for just $198,000. Over the past thirty years, the rare coin market has increased significantly, especially for trophy coins and rarities.

這枚硬幣的歷史可以追溯到 20 世紀 40 年代，之後於 1984 年被奧蘭治縣居民、受人尊敬的錢幣學家 Steven Duckor 博士以 198,000 美元的價格收購。在過去的三十年中，稀有硬幣市場顯著成長，尤其是獎盃硬幣和稀有硬幣。

The Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle is one of the most iconic and celebrated coins in American numismatic history, issued from 1907 to 1933. It was commissioned by President Theodore Roosevelt as part of his effort to beautify U.S. coinage in the early 20th century. The design is considered a masterpiece and still routinely ranks worldwide as one of the most iconic coin designs ever.

聖高登斯雙鷹硬幣是美國錢幣史上最具標誌性和最著名的硬幣之一，發行於1907 年至1933 年。美化美國硬幣的努力的一部分。該設計被認為是傑作，並且仍然在全球範圍內被列為有史以來最具標誌性的硬幣設計之一。

Duckor studied the Saint-Gaudens series, among others, and assembled one of the finest collections, long before third-party coin grading services such as PCGS and CAC changed the market.

早在 PCGS 和 CAC 等第三方錢幣評級服務改變市場之前，Duckor 就研究了 Saint-Gaudens 系列等，並收集了最好的系列之一。

“The Duckor pedigree for Saint-Gaudens is one we value; many of the coins in his former set are currently in the finest collections owned by clients of GreatCollections, including the all-time #1 set - the Elite Collection,” continued Russell.

「聖高登斯的鴨子血統是我們所重視的；他以前的一套硬幣中的許多硬幣目前都是 GreatCollections 客戶擁有的最好的收藏品，其中包括歷史上排名第一的一套 - 精英收藏，」拉塞爾繼續說道。

GreatCollections manages wantlists and assists collectors with all aspects of numismatics, aside from their own weekly auctions of certified coins and paper money. In a recent GreatCollections auction, the finest 1943-S Lincoln Cent struck in error on a Steel planchet realized $490,500 and semi-unique 1975 No S Proof Roosevelt Dime realized $506,250 - both all-time records.

GreatCollections 除了每週拍賣經過認證的硬幣和紙幣外，還管理需求清單並在錢幣學的各個方面為收藏家提供幫助。在最近的GreatCollections 拍賣會上，最精美的1943 年S 版林肯美分硬幣在鋼製硬幣上誤鑄，成交價為490,500 美元，半獨特的1975 年無S 精製羅斯福一毛硬幣成交價為506,250 美元，這兩項紀錄均創歷史紀錄。
