1913-D Saint-Gaudens Twenty, MS66
None Certified Numerically Finer

1913-D $20 MS66 NGC. The 1913-D Saint-Gaudens double eagle claims a mintage of 393,500 pieces, and the issue is not difficult to locate in lower Mint State grades, but it is decidedly elusive at the MS65 grade level, and finer coins are condition rarities. It seems most of the coins were shipped overseas, to Europe or Latin America, on the brink of World War I, and only a few high-quality examples were saved for numismatic purposes.

The present coin is a spectacular Premium Gem, with sharply detailed design elements and well-preserved orange-gold surfaces on both sides. A streak of light amber alloy passes through the outer wing feathers on the reverse. Vibrant mint luster adds to the outstanding eye appeal. Census: 12 in 66 (1 in 66+), 0 finer (11/18).(Registry values: N1)
