Description

Important 1913-S Twenty, MS65

1913-S $20 MS65 PCGS. This low-output issue is a rarity in Gem. Garrett and Guth note in their Encyclopedia of U.S. Gold Coins that "despite the tiny mintage of 34,000 pieces, this date is generally available in most grades below MS-65." In the sentence before that, however, they describe the 1913-S in Gem as "very rare indeed." What is also rare is a survivor with the eye appeal this coin offers, with its immense sun-yellow luster and orange accents with minimal alloy. The strike is similarly pleasing. PCGS has certified 20 examples as MS65 and only one finer (6/09).(Registry values: N7079)
