1910-D Twenty Dollar, MS66+
Glittering Registry Coin
Two Finer Examples at PCGS

1910-D $20 MS66+ PCGS. CAC. Ex: Fox-Simpson. The 1910-D represents a widely collectible branch mint issue from the early part of the Saint-Gaudens series. While fewer than a half million examples were struck, the 1910-D has one of the highest survival rates with an estimated 15,000 pieces extant. That includes a majority of coins repatriated from overseas holdings in MS63 and MS64 condition. Those numbers fall substantially in MS65 and MS66, and plummet in higher grades. In fact, there are only two coins certified finer than this MS66+ coin at each service. Additionally, CAC has endorsed merely 17 Premium Gems and two Superb Gems (9/19). Simply put, this Plus-graded, CAC-approved example ranks among the very finest 1910-D twenties available, a serious consideration for any advanced Registry player.

Virtually unabraded surfaces glitter with vibrant satiny mint luster. They feature splashes of deep orange and pale lilac and green accents amid warm yellow-gold tones. Liberty face and torch fingers, the Capitol, and the eagle's feathers and talons are all strongly rendered.

David Akers (2012) Comments:
The 1910-D is a condition rarity, that is, it is an issue that is rare only at or above a certain grade level. This is a very common issue in any grade up to and including gem MS65 condition and even superb MS66 examples can only be classified as scarce and not really rare as more than 100 such specimens exist. However, at the superb MS67 level, the 1910-D is extremely rare with only two or three examples graded so far.
