GreatCollections 以 384 万美元收购 1927-D Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle

1 月 16 日，经过激烈的竞价，GreatCollections 以 384 万美元的价格收购了丹佛铸币厂 1927 年发行的一枚罕见的 20 美元金币。

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.

丹佛造币厂于 1927 年发行的一枚罕见的 20 美元金币，经过 1 月 16 日在 GreatCollections 的激烈竞拍，最终以 384 万美元的价格售出。

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 双鹰是仅有的少数私人收藏之一。它被专业钱币评级服务公司 (PCGS) 评级为 MS-65+，并获得两家领先的稀有钱币第三方评级服务机构认证验收公司 (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.

“我们很高兴赢得了美国钱币学的圣杯。这对收藏家来说是一枚梦想硬币，对于完成圣高登斯系列收藏至关重要。可能要过很多年才能出现另一枚硬币。我们的目标是支付低于GreatCollections 总裁 Ian Russell 表示：“400 万美元，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 圣高登斯双鹰币最初的发行量为 180,000 枚，如今已知的只有大约十二枚。其中四件被永久博物馆收藏，其中三件在史密森尼博物馆，另一件在康涅狄格州历史博物馆。富兰克林·D·罗斯福总统 1933 年颁布禁止私人黄金所有权的行政命令后，最初的发行量很可能被融化。

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.

这枚硬币的历史可以追溯到 20 世纪 40 年代，之后于 1984 年被奥兰治县居民、受人尊敬的钱币学家 Steven Duckor 博士以 198,000 美元的价格收购。在过去的三十年中，稀有硬币市场显着增长，尤其是奖杯硬币和稀有硬币。

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.

圣高登斯双鹰硬币是美国钱币史上最具标志性和最著名的硬币之一，发行于 1907 年至 1933 年。它是由西奥多·罗斯福总统委托设计的，作为他在 20 世纪初美化美国硬币的努力的一部分。该设计被认为是杰作，并且仍然在全球范围内被列为有史以来最具标志性的硬币设计之一。

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 等第三方钱币评级服务改变市场之前，Duckor 就研究了 Saint-Gaudens 系列等，并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.

“圣高登斯的鸭子血统是我们所看重的；他以前的一套硬币中的许多硬币目前都是 GreatCollections 客户拥有的最好的收藏品，其中包括历史上排名第一的一套 - 精英收藏，”拉塞尔继续说道。

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 除了每周拍卖经过认证的硬币和纸币外，还管理需求清单并在钱币学的各个方面为收藏家提供帮助。在最近的 GreatCollections 拍卖会上，最精美的 1943 年 S 版林肯美分硬币在钢质硬币上误铸，成交价为 490,500 美元，半独特的 1975 年无 S 精制罗斯福一毛硬币成交价为 506,250 美元，这两项记录均创历史纪录。
