Gorgeous Near-Gem 1924-S Twenty

1924-S $20 MS64 PCGS. Though the Philadelphia double eagles of this date are readily available today, the forces that preserved those coins were absent for the pieces produced in Denver and San Francisco. Only a relative handful made their way to the safety of Europe before the mass meltings of the Roosevelt Administration, and many of the examples available to collectors today come from that small pool.
This shining example, yellow-orange with occasional apricot accents, shows excellent luster and strong definition on the central devices. Light, scattered marks across each side preclude Gem status, though the overall eye appeal is strong. A dusky band that appears at the obverse margins is the result of die wear, a common state for this high-mintage issue. PCGS has graded just three finer pieces (11/07).
