Description

Difficult MS63 1924-S Double Eagle

1924-S $20 MS63 PCGS. Close to 3 million 1924-S twenties were struck, primarily to back Federal gold bank notes. The Philadelphia issues were preferentially paid out, while S-mint issues such as the '24-S lingered in Treasury vaults and were eventually melted. Apparently, fewer than a thousand pieces escaped to the safer havens of European banks, only to return to the U.S. in recent decades. This lustrous lemon-gold representative is smooth aside from a solitary toned thin mark on the eagle's leg.
