Sharply Struck, Lustrous 1913 Double Eagle, MS64

1913 $20 MS64 PCGS. Owing to its low mintage of less than 170,000 pieces, the 1913 twenty dollar is one of the better dates from the Philadelphia Mint. The issue starts to become especially difficult in MS64 condition, and beginning in MS65 it develops into one of the leading condition rarities in the entire Saint-Gaudens double eagle series. This near-Gem specimen displays medium gold-green shades resting on surfaces that possess better luster than typically seen for the date. Its strike is also above average, evident from the sharp detail on Liberty and the Capitol building. Light marks keep from full Gem, and a small alloy spot is visible in the lower left obverse.(Registry values: N2998)
