Gold specialist David Akers writes, "The 1924 is the most common issue of the Saint-Gaudens series.... the typical 1924 is very sharply struck and fully frosty with very good to excellent luster. The color is usually a light to medium orange gold..."

Jeff Garrett writes, "Much of Europe was in financial distress around this time [1924] and large quantities of this [issue] were sent overseas for international banking transactions. Many sat there for decades and large numbers continue to find their way back to the United States each year.... the abundance of coins available makes this a great candidate for a type coin of the issue."
