Gorgeous Gem 1913-S Twenty

1913-S $20 MS65 PCGS. A condition rarity example of this impressive, low-mintage issue (at 34,000 pieces, the third lowest mintage of the series, trailing only the 1908-S and the High Relief). Most pieces have been affected by numerous bagmarks and abrasions from years of careless storage, as demonstrated by the population of pieces in lesser Mint State grades, but this example is a pleasing exception. The surfaces are most attractive with a bright yellow-golden finish and a nearly mark-free appearance. A single tiny hit is seen at the top of the eagle's leading wing, this being mentioned for future pedigree purposes. Rich, satiny luster crowns the eye appeal of this delightful representative. Virtually impossible to find any finer, with just one such piece in the combined certified population (11/07).
