Description
Magnificent 1912 Gem Twenty Dollar
1912 $20 MS65 PCGS. CAC. The 1912 represents the only double eagle issue of the year, as none were struck in Denver or San Francisco. It is also the first year with 48 obverse stars, reflecting the entry of New Mexico and Arizona into the Union.The 1912 is relatively available through the near-Gem level of preservation, evidenced by the few thousand having been certified by PCGS and NGC in grades MS60 to MS64. The Gem and finer population decreases significantly.
Both sides of the current MS65 specimen are awash in potent luster and variegated greenish-gold and peach-gold patina. A solid strike delivers exquisite delineation to the design features, enhancing even more the coin's magnificent eye appeal. A few grade-consistent marks do not detract in the least. Housed in a green-label holder. Population: 27 in 65, 5 finer (6/09).(Registry values: N4719)
