Fantastic Gem 1915 Double Eagle

1915 $20 MS65 PCGS. CAC. The outbreak of World War I and the resulting disruption of overseas trade removed much of the Mint's reason for striking double eagles, yet production actually increased from 1914 to 1915, going back above six figures. This increase is deceptive, however, because Philadelphia would not strike double eagles from 1916 through 1919. This Gem, tied with 33 others for finest known to PCGS (11/09), has strong design definition and bold luster. The obverse has elements of reddish-orange color, while the reverse is brighter yellow-gold. Minimally abraded and gorgeous.
