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.
What may be more intriguing is that he has continued specializing in Full Step Jeffersons, pursuing ever-higher Registry ratings for that series, and currently capturing the #1 spot in 14 categories."

"The Norweb 1921 double eagle, is an incredible coin in its own right but greatly aided by its pedigree," said Todd Imhof, Executive Vice President of Heritage Auction Galleries.
"In our most recent auction in Fort Worth, the glamorous Norweb pedigree helped propel a 1911-D quarter eagle to the top of the Prices Realized chart, and the Norweb name is sure to aid this double eagle as well."

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 ...
