Description

Scarce, Low Mintage 1909-D Twenty, MS64

1909-D $20 MS64 PCGS. This well-frosted example reveals some satin luster tendencies as the coin rotates beneath a light. The orange-gold surfaces are boldly impressed for the type with few abrasions for the issue. The paltry original mintage of 52,500 pieces is the fourth lowest in the Saint-Gaudens double eagle series. The discovery of a hoard in Central America has resulted in relative availability for BU and Select quality examples, but near-Gems and Gems remain rare. Only 19 coins have been certified finer by PCGS (6/09).(Registry values: N4719)
