Description

Choice 1922-S Saint-Gaudens Twenty

1922-S $20 MS64 PCGS. The mintage is the 1922-S is approximately double that of its Philadelphia counterpart. Nonetheless, the 1922 is dozens of times more available than the very scarce 1922-S. The only explanation is that most of the 1922-S production remained in Treasury vaults until the 1933 gold recall, and was then melted into Fort Knox ingots. The present piece managed to escape Treasury holdings. It is lustrous and original with green-gold toning. Marks are generally confined to the field near the branch stem, and the scattered orange alloy spots have no effect on the technical grade.(Registry values: N2998)
