Desirable Choice 1924-S Double Eagle

1924-S $20 MS64 PCGS. A much better date, since most of the nearly 3 million pieces coined never left the Treasury vaults and were eventually melted. The near-Gem presented here is sharply impressed, with nice definition on Liberty's face, fingers, and toes. The surfaces exhibit somewhat frosty luster, and are originally toned in shades of apricot-gold with subtle light green undertones. Most of the pieces that came from European banks were extensively bagmarked. Not so the present coin, that reveals just a few unimportant marks, none of which remotely distract. Population: 93 in 64, 3 finer (3/09).
Ex: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 9/2006), lot 4758, which realized $13,225.(Registry values: N4719)
