Description

Lustrous 1926-D Twenty, MS62

1926-D $20 MS62 NGC. Among the important key-date issues in the Saint-Gaudens series, the 1926-D had a surprisingly low mintage of just 481,000 coins, the third lowest mintage of the decade. Mintage figures actually have little to do with rarity in this series. Several of the branch-mint issues of the 1920s had mintages of 2 or 3 million, yet they are all key-date issues today. This lovely example has lovely honey-gold surfaces with soft, frosty luster on both sides. The central details are sharply defined, while the rims have typical beveled edges. Census: 52 in 62, 27 finer (7/08).(Registry values: N4719)

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
Weight: 33.44 grams
