Lush Gem 1909-D Double Eagle

1909-D $20 MS65 PCGS. Ex: Brahin. The mintage of 52,500 pieces is among the lowest in the Saint-Gaudens series, and while numerous survivors exist from overseas repatriations, most of them are either in circulated grades or, if Mint State, MS64 and lower. In MS65, PCGS has certified only 14 coins (undoubtedly including the inevitable duplications), with six pieces finer (6/09). NGC has certified an added four Gems, with one finer. The present example offers lush, deep sunset-orange coloration on each side, complementing radiant cartwheel luster and superior eye appeal. The strike is bold, if a trifle short of full, and only trivial, grade-consistent abrasions appear under a loupe.(Registry values: N7079)
