Delightful Choice 1924-S Double Eagle

1924-S $20 MS64 NGC. The 1924-S is widely acknowledged as a challenging issue among Saint-Gaudens double eagles despite a mintage approaching 3 million pieces. Only a slight fraction of the coins struck ever left government property, however, and the vast majority of pieces were melted and made into ingots at the behest of President Franklin Roosevelt and his monetary policies. This well-defined, slightly satiny piece is an attractive survivor. The surfaces are primarily orange-gold, though close inspection reveals occasional hints of pink. Minor disturbances at Liberty's left (facing) leg and the eagle's upper wing contribute to the grade. NGC has graded 20 numerically finer examples (6/08).(Registry values: N4719)
