Extraordinary 1914 Saint-Gaudens Twenty, MS 65

1914 $20 MS 65 PCGS. The high grade rarity of this issue is such that NGC and PCGS combined have certified only 27 coins in MS 65, and there are a mere two MS 66 PCGS specimens finer (11/00). In lower grades, the 1914 compares favorably to the 1911 and 1915, but at the present level it outstrips both issues in terms of rarity. This is the first Gem quality 1914 double eagle that we have handled in recent memory, and it is a simply stunning coin. The luster quality and striking detail are equally free of criticism, and both sides are awash in rich green-gold color that is suggestive of originality. Delicate orange-gold overtones are also noted at certain angles, but there are no bothersome abrasions to report. One of only 95,320 pieces produced.
