Description

Rare 1924-S Twenty, MS65

1924-S $20 MS65 NGC. The 1924-S was at one time considered to be among the rarest of all double eagle issues, outranking "the famous MCMVII Ultra High Relief and the incredible Proofs of 1883 and 1884," in the words of Q. David Bowers' double eagle Guide Book. Thanks to repatriations from overseas hoards, today the 1924-S is only considered "very rare," and it remains illustrious and noteworthy in Gem condition. This exceptionally pleasing specimen is well defined, with bright, sparkling honey-gold surfaces that are nearly abrasion-free, except for a few inconsequential bagmarks. As a testament to its rarity and desirability, both NGC and PCGS have each graded only a single specimen finer (12/07).(Registry values: N7079)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 26G9, PCGS# 9179, Greysheet# 10179)
