Rationale:  Mint Marked 'D' Denver & 'S' San Francisco - Rarer/Better Date 

• Six coin date grouping, all MS63:  According to PCGS and NGC, the combined total known populations of these dates are as follows, listed in comparison to the seven most common Philadelphia minted coins to illustrate notable comparative scarcity:

  • 1910-D: Total Pop: 4,757

  • 1911-D: Total Pop: 6,832 

  • 1911-S: Total Pop: 3,771

  • 1914-D: Total Pop: 4,955

  • 1914-S: Total Pop: 16,832 

  • 1915-S: Total Pop: 10,771

• Which compare to the most/more common dates as follows:

  • 1908 No Motto: Total Pop: 119,081

  • 1923: Total Pop: 27,329

  • 1924: Total Pop: 229,230

  • 1925: Total Pop: 40,126

  • 1926: Total Pop: 14,030

  • 1927: Total Pop: 94,279

  • 1928: Total Pop: 36,875

• Fantastic opportunity to own a difficult to assemble grouping of 'mint-marked' St. Gaudens - broadly speaking, branch mints (San Francisco and Denver for the St. Gaudens series), produced far fewer coins annually than the main mint facility in Philadelphia (no mint-mark) - as evidenced by comparative populations.  As such, mint-marked St. Gaudens are highly coveted, substantially harder to locate and typically command hefty premiums.  Needless to say, when able to acquire mint-marked St. Gaudens for the same/similar premium as a common dated coins, it represents a terrific accumulation opportunity for discerning gold owners.
• All coins in mixed PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service) and NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Corporation) Holders.

Historical Note:

The Denver mint was opened in 1906 to and began production on gold and silver coins.  Production of gold and sivler coinage was nearly continuous - save during World War I - until 1932.  The mint is still in operation today, producing commemorative coins, as well as current circualton coins.  

The San Francisco Mint was opened in 1854 to process gold from the California Gold Rush into gold coin.  It moved to a new facilty in 1874, which became know as the 'Granite Lady'.  As one of the few buildings to survive the massive 1906 earthquake and the fires that followed, it remained in operation until 1937.  So it was at this facility that these 1915-S St. Gaudens were struck.
