1927-S $20

Description

NGC 1927-S MS 65. Over the decades, the 1927-S has remained one of the most elusive and highly regarded of all the mintmarked Saints from the 1920s. This rarity has remained constant, despite the fact that a few coins have appeared from European holdings over the years. Akers estimates that no more than 60 pieces exist in all grades, but precious few gems exist. NGC (11/92) has only certified 1 other MS 65 with none finer, and PCGS (12/92) has not graded any in MS 65, but has certified one in MS 66, placing this coin as tied for second finest known. The surfaces are typical for the issue with fully frosted luster and rich greenish-gold color. There is no evidence of die deterioration on this coin and there are none of the copper stains that are so prevalent on many specimens. Trends $90,000 (12/14).
