Gem 1923 Saint-Gaudens Twenty
Extremely Rare in Higher Grades

1923 $20 MS65 PCGS. While the 1923 Saint-Gaudens double eagle is an available date up to the Gem level of preservation, it becomes elusive in MS65, and is a formidable rarity in higher grades. To date, PCGS has certified only three coins above the Gem level, while NGC has seen only one specimen finer (3/10). The present coin displays sharp definition on all devices, and the surfaces radiate vibrant, frosty mint luster. Only a few handling marks and luster grazes in the left obverse field prevent an even higher grade.(Registry values: N2998)
