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.
