Description

1924-S Double Eagle, MS64
Minimally Marked Melt Rarity

1924-S $20 MS64 NGC. Whereas the 1924 Saint-Gaudens double eagle (4.3 million coins) serves as one of, if not the most plentiful issues in the series, its San Francisco counterpart, the 1924-S (2.9 million coins), poses a significant challenge even in MS64. Virtually the entire production was melted, and those that survive often show signs of inter-bank transport and bagmarks from jostling. This well-struck, frosty near-Gem displays orange-gold color with rose and reddish accents. Superficial luster grazes are minor, having no effect on the excellent eye appeal. NGC reports 21 numerically finer grading events for the 1924-S (6/20).
