Frosty 1909-D Double Eagle, MS65

1909-D $20 MS65 PCGS. Virtually unbroken mint frost blankets both the obverse and reverse of this orange-gold double eagle. A small mark on Liberty's left forearm and another on her left knee are the perhaps the only minor distractions keeping this eye-appealing Gem from the next grade level. At 52,500 pieces, the 1909-D boasts one of the lowest mintage of coins in the entire Saint-Gaudens double eagle series. And, although it is well known that production figures of this issue do not necessarily correlate with current availability, it is an established fact that the 1909-D is indeed a rare coin in MS65 or better. Several factors are responsible for the limited availability of '09-D twenties in higher grades today, including, but not limited to, the initial low production quantity, the fact that many circulated, and the stark reality that even more were melted during the 1930s gold crisis. Population: 15 in 65, 6 finer (12/07).(Registry values: N7079)
