15th winner of annual Heritage Auctions Survey of Clients drawing
Dallas, TX — Continuing an annual tradition begun in 1996, Heritage Auction Galleries has awarded a Mint State High Relief [Saint-Gaudens] double eagle to Steven Strom, a collector from Idaho.
The valuable rare coin was the Grand Prize in the 15th Annual Survey of Clients conducted by Heritage. The coin has been certified by NGC as a Wire Rim MS-60.
"Steven Strom’s numismatic journey will be familiar to many collectors," said David Mayfield, Vice President of Heritage Auction Galleries.
"His interest in rare coins started as a kid, collecting Jefferson nickels and Mercury dimes out of circulation.

Its story starts out with a mintage of 2,927,500 pieces, which was a large mintage for Saint-Gaudens double eagles. The only other high totals were the 1924s from the other mints ...

Great rarities sometimes involve great mysteries and that is the case with the 1861 Paquet reverse double eagle. With only two examples known, it ranks in the top group of great U.S. rarities, although it has so far not proven that at public auction. That day, however, may be coming.
The Paquet reverse was the creation of Anthony Paquet, who had been directed by Mint officials to create a design that, while similar to the regular reverse, would be modified slightly....
