Gorgeous Gem 1913-S Twenty

1913-S $20 MS65 PCGS. Although small hoards of the 1913-S Saint-Gaudens twenty have been imported in recent decades, the low mintage and a subsequent low survival rate for Choice and Gem pieces ensure that such coins as the present MS65 example will always be in demand. The original mintage was only 34,000 coins, an emission second lowest of the 1908-1933 series and exceeded only by the 1908-S, at 22,000 pieces.
This beauty offers remarkably distraction-free surfaces, and it combines a bold strike, impressive luster, and vibrant yellow-gold surfaces with a hint of orange. Spectacularly appealing and virtually unavailable any finer; PCGS has graded just one such coin (6/08).
