Delightful Premium Gem 1909-S Twenty

1909-S $20 MS66 PCGS. Though the casual observer may see the 1909-S double eagle's mintage of over 2.7 million pieces and dismiss it as a common issue, such an assessment misses the nuances of condition rarity. As Garrett and Guth write in their Encyclopedia of U.S. Gold Coins, "While the considerable mintage would imply that this issue would be available in virtually any grade, this is certainly not the case."
This Premium Gem is one of just six certified at this level by PCGS with only one finer (6/08). Immensely lustrous yellow-orange surfaces exhibit occasional peach shadings, and the highest elements of the well-defined devices show traces of lovely frostiness. Carefully preserved and attractive.
