Description
1916-S Saint-Gaudens Twenty, MS66
Almost Unobtainable Finer
1916-S $20 MS66 PCGS. From a mintage of 796,000 pieces, the
1916-S Saint-Gaudens double eagle is still collectible at the MS66
grade level, but the population drops off precipitously in higher
grades. In fact, only four examples have been certified in MS67 at
NGC, while PCGS has certified no coins at that level, and none have
been graded finer (9/25). This spectacular Premium Gem displays
sharply detailed design elements, with fine definition on The
Capitol building and Liberty's facial features. The impeccably
preserved orange-gold surfaces radiate vibrant mint luster from
both sides and overall eye appeal is terrific. This coin should
find a home in the finest collection or Registry Set.Ex: Lois Angeles Signature (Heritage, 8/2009), lot 2805.(Registry values: N2998)
