Description

1916-S Saint-Gaudens Twenty, MS66
Almost Unobtainable Finer

1916-S $20 MS66 PCGS. From a mintage of 796,000 pieces, the 1916-S Saint-Gaudens double eagle is still collectible at the MS66 grade level, but the population drops off precipitously in higher grades. In fact, only four examples have been certified in MS67 at NGC, while PCGS has certified no coins at that level, and none have been graded finer (9/25). This spectacular Premium Gem displays sharply detailed design elements, with fine definition on The Capitol building and Liberty's facial features. The impeccably preserved orange-gold surfaces radiate vibrant mint luster from both sides and overall eye appeal is terrific. This coin should find a home in the finest collection or Registry Set.
