Very Scarce Choice 1924-D Twenty

1924-D $20 MS64 PCGS. Although most of the more than 3 million examples minted were likely melted a decade or so later, importations from overseas have lessened the paucity of this once-rare issue. Nonetheless, it remains quite scarce, with most pieces certified in AU58 through MS64. The present piece is superior to the typical bagmarked survivor. Were it not for a pair of mentionable abrasions--one through Liberty's outstretched right (facing) arm, a second in the right field nearby--this piece might achieve the Gem classification. The luster is brilliant, the color is a beautiful orange-gold, and the reverse shows only a few minor abrasions well hidden in the eagle's feathers. PCGS has graded 10 pieces finer (3/09).
