Lovely Two-Toned Near-Gem 1924-S Twenty

1924-S $20 MS64 PCGS. The Saint-Gaudens double eagle was the only gold coin denomination that the San Francisco Mint produced in 1924. Both the 1924-D and 1924-S are among series issues that are considered less rare today than previously, due to repatriations from overseas--but the 1924-S is still rarer today than the 1924-D, grade for grade. At one time, until the late 1940s, it was thought to be one of the rarest issues in the entire series.
This near-Gem specimen sports lovely apricot-gold surfaces with tinges of greenish-gold in the upper obverse fields, a splendid amalgam of colors. The strike is bold but not full. A minor sprinkling of small abrasions precludes a Gem grade, although the eye appeal is excellent. PCGS has certified only three examples finer (7/10).(Registry values: N4719)
