Description

Condition Rarity 1915 Gem Twenty Dollar

1915 $20 MS65 PCGS. The certified population figures indicate that the 1915 Philadelphia double eagle is relatively plentiful through the MS63 grade level. The numbers begin to taper off at the near-Gem level of preservation, then drop precipitously in MS65, where less than four dozen pieces have been graded. Neither service has seen any finer.
Rich apricot-gold patina tinged with whispers of mint-green adorns the highly lustrous surfaces of this lovely Gem. A solid strike sharpens the design features, including virtually complete definition in the panes of the Capitol building, Liberty's fingers and toes, and the eagle's plumage. A few trivial marks are consistent with the grade level. Population: 31 in 65, 0 finer (3/08).(Registry values: N4719)
