Dazzling Near-Gem 1924-S Twenty Dollar
Only Three Certified Finer at PCGS

1924-S $20 MS64 PCGS. The 1924-S double eagle shares much in common today with its sibling, the 1924-D, in that both are somewhat available--for a price--at the near-Gem level. The 1924-S, however, is even more elusive than the 1924-D, and seldom seen in MS65, a level at which PCGS has certified only three specimens (3/10). Until the mid-1950s both issues were thought to be among the rarest Saint-Gaudens twenties, before the discovery and repatriations of some overseas hoards.
This near-Gem coin displays well-struck orange-gold surfaces with dazzling luster and excellent eye appeal. Only minor, scattered marks, confined mostly to the obverse, seemingly preclude a Gem grade. Population: 94 in 64, 3 finer (3/10).
