1920 Double Eagle, MS64+
Eye-Catching CAC Registry Candidate

1920 $20 MS64+ PCGS. CAC. Ex: Simpson. The 1920 is one of the premier condition rarities in the Saint-Gaudens series. Examples are usually available in MS64, but Gems are prohibitively rare, and are out of reach for the vast majority of collectors. The Simpson coin is oh-so-close to the Gem level from a technical perspective, and we consider it on par with Gems on grounds of visual merit. Vivid tangerine-gold luster engulfs the majority of this piece but leaves the right obverse and reverse margins with a crescent of iridescent yellow-gold color. The strike is boldly rendered, and a few trivial surface marks that limit the grade are not at all bothersome. Plus-graded and CAC-endorsed MS64 pieces in PCGS holders number only several dozen coins. The Simpson piece is outstanding even among these. Population: 84 in 64+, 3 finer. CAC: 89 in 64, 1 finer (7/22).(Registry values: N2998)
