Description

1926-D Double Eagle, MS62
Conditionally Elusive Denver Issue

1926-D $20 MS62 NGC. Although overseas repatriates have bolstered the 1926-D population over the past five decades, the 1926-D is still considerably scarcer than the 1925-D and even slightly scarcer than the 1925-S as well. An estimated 600 1926-D pieces survive in all grades combined. Thickly frosted straw-gold surfaces retain their original mint luster throughout this MS62 example and while a few grade-defining abrasions exist, there are no individually heavy marks. The strike is sharper at the lower obverse for this challenging Denver Mint issue than often seen. NGC Census: 45 in 62 (1 in 62+), 37 finer (8/25).(Registry values: N4719)
