1924-D Double Eagle, MS64+
Heavily Melted, Rare Any Finer

1924-D $20 MS64+ PCGS. As with most other branch mint issues from the 1920s, the 1924-D was struck to a healthy extent with more than 3 million coins, but nearly all of them were melted. In fact, the 1924-D was once so difficult to find it was considered one of the greatest rarities in the entire Saint-Gaudens series. Repatriations from overseas holdings have since improved the availability of this this Denver twenty dollar gold issue, but it remains scarce in near-Gem condition and highly sought-after among series specialists. This well-detailed example enjoys rich orange-gold color and satiny mint luster. Scattered ticks barely limit the grade. There are only 15 finer grading events at PCGS (5/21).(Registry values: N4719)
