Description

1924-S Saint-Gaudens Twenty, MS64
Well-Known Melt Issue

1924-S $20 MS64 PCGS. Research by Roger Burdette suggests only about 1,100 examples of the 1924-S twenty are estimated to have survived out of the almost 3 million pieces produced. Most of the Mint State survivors grade between MS62 and MS64, and very few are known in finer grades. Any finer pieces are likely to be leftovers from the Assay Commission of that year. This Choice Uncirculated piece represents an opportunity for the astute collector to acquire a near-Gem at a third of the price of a Gem. The surfaces display lovely amber-gold and canary-yellow color and satiny brilliance on both obverse and reverse. Slight weakness at the peripheries is offset by minimal surfaces marks and outstanding eye appeal. PCGS reports only nine numerically finer pieces and 26 examples in 64+ (7/24).(Registry values: N4719)
