1912 Twenty Dollar Saint-Gaudens, MS65
Challenging in High Grade

1912 $20 MS65 PCGS. Double eagle coinage in 1912 only occurred at the Philadelphia Mint, with a limited mintage of 149,750 pieces. The date is generally still plentiful in low Mint State grades, and examples are seen at auction with regularity through MS64. Gem examples are significantly scarcer, and anything finer is a major rarity.

This MS65 example displays softly frosted peach-gold mint luster, with well-defined design elements and a lack of serious abrasions in the fields. Light marks on the high points of the devices are all that deny an even finer grade. We have seen only two numerically finer coins within the last decade. Population: 47 in 65 (5 in 65+), 13 finer (7/23).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 26FM, PCGS# 9160, Greysheet# 10139)

Weight: 33.44 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
