NEW YORK, NY -- Competitive bidding at Doyle's November 13, 2024 auction of Coins, Stamps, Bank Notes & Political Ephemera drove strong results and a sale total that surpassed expectations. Collectors and enthusiasts vied for U.S. and World numismatics, philatelics and other rarities from collections in the New York area and other regions of the country.

Highlighting the sale was a U.S. 1907 $20 St. Gaudens High Relief in Mint State that soared past its estimate of $13,000-16,000 to achieve $51,425. The $20 gold coin was created by the famed Irish-American sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens under a commission arranged by President Theodore Roosevelt. The double eagle was first made in a high-relief form, giving a sculptured effect. The production proved to be too difficult and was discontinued in favor of the standard flat surfaces. With over half of the original minting of 12,367 still in existence today, as many were saved, most of these are in lower grades. Consequently, higher-grade coins with smaller populations, such as this example, are highly sought-after by collectors.
