Description

Key 1920-S Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle

1920-S $20 MS 61 PCGS. With the exception of the 1927-D and 1933 (both of which are considered non-collectible), the 1920-S is the rarest Saint-Gaudens double eagle after the 1921. This coin is the only MS 61 example known to PCGS (12/00), and the surfaces are uncommonly lustrous for the grade. The number of abrasions is also minimal, and most features are well defined. As befits the issue, both sides are richly frosted with beautiful orange-gold color. A significant bidding opportunity for advanced gold collectors.
From the David & Jeannie Cheung Collection.
