In 1910, mintages in Philadelphia and Denver were dwarfed by those in San Francisco, with just 482,000 coins struck in Philadelphia and 429,000 struck in Denver, while 2,128,000 struck in San Francisco. Ironically, survival rates tell a very different story, with the survival rate in uncirculated (MS60 and higher) for the 1910 San Francisco minted coins estimated at just 15,350 total coins, versus 21,650 Denver, and 24,000 Philadelphia. Drilling down further, collector’s will note the scarcity of each coin above MS65, with both San Francisco and Philadelphia minted coins surviving in very low rates (725 SF and 375 Philadelphia) compared to Denver minted coins (2750 estimated) in gem condition. All this adds up to a reality that high conditioned San Francisco minted 1910 dated $20 St. Gaudens in high condition are extremely hard to locate.
Per PCGS population figures, 1336 1910-S dated coins total have achieved the grade MS64, and 315 are known to have survived in better condition. The overall scarcity rating among all St. Gaudens for the 1910-S in grade MS60 or better is 34/54. Like all coins from this cache, this example is highly lustrous and well struck, and retains the entirety of it’s beautiful original orange peel die coloring, and is an exceptional specimen for it’s grade. Graded 1910-S dated $20 St. Gaudens are a terrific opportunity for gold investors to secure substantive added rarity at historically favorable premiums.
The PCGS suggested retail price for this coin is $4000. Offered here for $3500.
