Description

1913-S Saint-Gaudens Twenty, MS65
Important Condition Rarity

1913-S $20 MS65 PCGS. With a mintage of only 34,000 coins, the 1913-S is immediately recognized as an important issue in the Saint-Gaudens double eagle series. In addition to its low mintage, the 1913-S is a condition rarity with just one numerically finer PCGS-certified example. Having a total PCGS population of just 25 examples that grade MS65 or finer, the 1913-S has the 14th lowest high-grade population for the entire series, keeping company with many of the rarest Saint-Gaudens double eagles. Among pre-World War I issues, only the 1913 has a lower population in MS65 or finer grades. This Gem, like many surviving 1913-S double eagles, shows peripheral weakness at the lower-left obverse. The remaining details are strong, and the lustrous orange-gold surfaces are free of distracting marks. This is an exceptional example for the advanced Saint-Gaudens Registry collector. Population: 24 in 65 (1 in 65+), 1 finer (3/23).
