1920-S Twenty Dollar, AU58
Still-Lustrous Surfaces
Key Issue in This Challenging Series

1920-S $20 AU58 NGC. Even though more than a half-million 1920-S twenties were produced, remarkably few have survived, and of those sold in auctions over the past 50 years most are circulated to low-end Uncirculated coins. To Roger Burdette, this confirms "that most surviving 1920-S double eagles likely came from production residuals. The few coins in the highest grades likely resulted from the activities of Mint Collection Curator T. Louis Comparette in selecting pyx coins, members of the Assay Commission, and a few persistent collectors in the San Francisco area." This piece falls neatly within the grade range of most surviving examples. Significant mint luster remains on each side and the strike is generally strong throughout. A few small abrasions are peppered over both sides, but none are large or singularly distracting. Census: 13 in 58, 53 finer (11/22).
