Classic 1922-S Twenty, MS64 PCGS

1922-S $20 MS64 PCGS. This frosty, sharply struck example adequately illustrates why the 1922-S is among the more attractive Saint-Gaudens Double Eagles from the 1920s. What's more, the color is vibrant with a golden-rose sheen that only enhances the already impressive eye appeal. This is a minimally abraded survivor of an issue that was once ranked among the rarest 20th century Double Eagles. That was before several hoards were discovered in Europe and Central America from the 1950s through the early 1980s. On the other hand, the '22-S remains scarce as a near-Gem and undoubtedly rare any finer.(#9174) (Registry values: N2998)
