Description

Low-Mintage 1913-S Twenty, MS65

1913-S $20 MS65 PCGS. The 1913-S, while not the rarest Saint-Gaudens double eagle issue today, still holds considerable importance by virtue of its low mintage, just 34,000 pieces. Gem and better examples of the date are particularly elusive; PCGS has graded just 21 coins at the MS65 level and only one finer (11/09). This attractive example has a strong strike overall, with only slight softness visible at the top of the torch. The strong yellow-gold luster shows a hint of satin, and while there is a rim bruise near 6 o'clock on the reverse, abrasions are few otherwise.
