Fantastic Gem 1913-S Twenty

1913-S $20 MS65 PCGS. CAC. Along with the 1908-S and 1930-S, the 1913-S is one of three San Francisco Saint-Gaudens double eagle issues to have a five-figure mintage. Most scholars of the series consider this to be a heavily saved date, rated by the proportion of survivors to original mintage, and examples are available for a price through MS64. At the Gem level, however, the 1913-S becomes a condition rarity. This beauty, housed in a green label holder, has warmly lustrous yellow-orange surfaces that are carefully preserved. Only a hint of the issue's usual striking softness is present. Population: 20 in 65, 1 finer (3/09).(Registry values: N7079)
