Scarce Select 1922-S Double Eagle

1922-S $20 MS63 PCGS. Rich lemon-gold borders gradually cede to lighter straw-gold centers. This lustrous example has the expected number of minor obverse marks, but the reverse is well preserved and the only noticeable mark is a bright tick on Liberty's waist. Although more than 2.6 million '22-S twenties were struck, only a tiny fraction of that emission ever left Treasury vaults.
