Description

Select 1924-S Saint-Gaudens Twenty

1924-S $20 MS63 PCGS. CAC. The Guide Book states that close to 3 million 1924-S double eagles were coined, but that mintage is meaningless, since most pieces were melted by the Treasury due to Franklin Roosevelt's gold recall. PCGS and NGC data suggest several hundred survivors, but those figures are undoubtedly inflated by resubmissions. The present canary-gold example has vibrant luster and a suitable strike. Minor marks are scattered, but the lack of noticeable abrasions ensures the eye appeal.(Registry values: N2998)
