Description
1916-S Twenty Dollar, MS66+
Prohibitively Rare Any Finer
1916-S $20 MS66+ NGC. From a substantial mintage of 796,000
pieces, the 1916-S Saint-Gaudens double eagle is still not often
seen at the MS66 grade level, and such coins are rare with a Plus
designation. NGC lists only four pieces finer, while PCGS reports
none (9/25). This Plus-graded Premium Gem example displays a bold
strike and soft, satiny orange-gold mint luster. A few trivial
contact marks are scattered throughout the eagle's wing and on the
high points of Liberty's figure, but none are worthy of individual
mention. Overall eye appeal is terrific. This coin will be a
welcome addition to the finest collection or Registry Set.Ex: Central States Signature (Heritage, 5/2022), lot 5199.(Registry values: N2998)
