1920 Double Eagle, MS64+
One Coin Finer at PCGS

1920 $20 MS64+ PCGS. Double eagles were struck at the Philadelphia and San Francisco mints in 1920. S-mint coins were held in storage until the Gold Recall of 1933 and subsequently melted, while P-mint twenties were stored until 1926, at which point they were released for commercial use. Most examples survive in MS62 and MS63, but Choice coins can be located with minimal effort. Of the hundreds of MS64 submissions at PCGS, only 59 have been awarded a Plus designation. A single coin is reported finer (7/16). Effulgent luster blends with yellow-gold color throughout both sides. The motifs are typically defined. A few small scrapes appear on the obverse.
