“Despite an extremely large mintage,” writes Jeff Garrett, “the 1925–S is quite scarce today. The vast majority were sent to the melting pots. Less than 1,000 coins have been certified by the major grading services. Unlike the other rare dates of this vintage, small number were saved by American collectors at the time of issue.” NGC has graded 102 as AU58 with 246 finer. Collectors Universe prices the 1925-S at $9,000.00 in AU58.

Gold specialist David Akers writes, “The 1925-S is generally well struck, although some specimens have a slight weakness on the lower obverse and a weak 5 in the date. Some others display a softness or lack of definition on the central devices. As is typical of the San Francisco Mint issues of this decade, the 1925-S often has very rounded, almost beveled rims … The surfaces of the typical 1925-S have a decided satiny texture although fully frosty ones also exist. Lustre and color are both very good to excellent on this issue as a rule and most specimens are an appealing light to medium orange gold color, often with greenish gold highlights.”
