1931 $20

Description

NGC 1931 MS 63. According to Akers, and the population data seems to bear him out, the 1931 is the second rarest of the late date Saints, second only to the 1930-S. In all grades of uncirculated only 14 pieces have been certified by PCGS with another 3 in AU 58 according to the January Population Report. NGC (12/92) has certified 8 in all grades. So, considering how many coins may have been multiply submitted and crossed over from one service to another, it seems that Breen's estimate of 18-20 survivors is an accurate counting. This is a lovely coin whose only detracting features are a few small abrasions on each side. The luster is thick and frosted, as always, and the strike is full. This coin does not show the curved die break through the eagle's beak seen on some specimens and there are no copper stains on either side, but there is a tiny grease stain (as struck) that could serve as an identifying mark for pedigree purposes. Of the greatest rarity and importance to the collector of this challenging series. Trends $24,000 (1/25).
