Description

Near-Gem 1920 Double Eagle
A Slightly Better Date P-Mint Twenty

1920 $20 MS64 PCGS. Curiously, the 1920-S has a mintage that is more than twice that of the 1920-P, yet the 1920-S is a major rarity in the series and the P-mint is a relatively common coin. This is, of course, because of the mass meltings in the 1930s--a plague that struck the S-mint coins but largely passed over the P-mint pieces. This is a bright, golden-orange example that is well struck and largely free from abrasions.(Registry values: N2998)
