1916-S Double Eagle, MS66+
Tied for the Finest PCGS Certified

1916-S $20 MS66+ PCGS. CAC. The 1916-S double eagle was the last issue of the decade as the government ceased gold coin production during the first World War. Current PCGS population data shows that 207 examples of this issue have earned the MS66 grade, including just six that are certified MS66+, and none in finer grades (12/22). Although NGC has certified four MS67 examples, we are unable to imagine that any of those pieces have better eye appeal than this example. Both sides of this boldly defined Premium Gem exhibit brilliant yellow luster and hints of orange overtones. The surfaces are nearly flawless. This is a prize for the advanced Saint-Gaudens collector.
