Satiny MS63 1926-D Twenty

1926-D $20 MS63 PCGS. The 1926-D is a very elusive issue in the Saint-Gaudens series, and the appearance of three high grade examples in this auction is certainly atypical. Even though 481,000 pieces were minted, most were apparently melted in the 1930s with a few dozen ending up in European banks. The coins from European sources typically are lower grade Uncs, the average coin being no better than MS61-62. PCGS has certified 48 pieces in MS63 with only 24 finer (11/09). This is pleasing example that is well defined throughout with only a few small marks scattered about. Light reddish color is noted and the surfaces display attractive satiny mint luster.(Registry values: N7079)
