Gem 1909 Saint-Gaudens Twenty
Vibrant Mint Luster

1909 $20 MS65 PCGS. CAC. This is currently the single finest 1909 double eagle that CAC has verified. Seldom encountered at the Gem level, the 1909 "perfect date" Saint-Gaudens double eagle is an underrated issue in the series. Few examples were saved by collectors at the time of issue, and early auction appearances were infrequent.
The outstanding feature of the coin offered here is its extraordinary, vibrant luster. The devices are richly frosted, and the surfaces are a subtle orange-gold and pale green color. Striking details are sharp throughout. The only detectable flaws are a tiny planchet flake out of the upper obverse, and a shallow luster graze across the sun. Overall eye appeal is outstanding. Population: 21 in 65, 7 finer (12/09).(Registry values: N7079)
