Description

Attractively Tinted 1922-S Twenty, MS64

1922-S $20 MS64 PCGS. CAC. The 1922-S Saint-Gaudens double eagle is a high-mintage date, with more than 2.6 million pieces coined. The great majority of these coins were melted after the Gold Recall of 1933, and the issue is a better date today, with most Uncirculated examples in lower Mint State grades. Q. David Bowers notes, "Nice MS64 coins are elusive, and anything finer remains a rarity." PCGS has certified only 12 specimens in higher grades (10/09). The present coin is well struck, with the characteristic inner rim on the reverse, due to die bulging. The surfaces are unabraded, with attractive orange highlights.(Registry values: N2998)
