1913-S $20

Description

NGC 1913-S MS 64. This date boasts the third lowest mintage of the series, 34,000 pieces, and the normal grade encountered is a high grade AU (55-58). When one seeks a gem specimen, however, the multitude of choices seems to evaporate. There have been a total of 18 MS 64s, and 1 MS 65 graded by both services as the latest (June) data reports, and this is a very few coins to divide among the numismatists who are serious collectors of this interesting and beautiful series.
The color of this specimen is a medium orange-gold with very bright luster showing on both sides. The strike is very good and does not have the somewhat, weak crescent at the lower portion of the obverse that is so common to this date. There are a few expected small bag marks, but nothing too obvious or really detracting.
