Coveted Select 1925-D Double Eagle

1925-D $20 MS63 PCGS. The Roosevelt Administration gold recall, often discussed in numismatic articles and books, had a dramatic impact on American collecting. Coins that would have been type pieces transformed into major rarities, and the recall twisted mintage figures into meaningless numbers. The Denver double eagle issue of 1925, with its mintage of almost 3 million pieces, likely would have been plentiful if the government had not melted the vast majority of the coins.
The Select representative offered here is one of the fortunate few that survived. The surfaces are predominantly yellow-gold with a touch of sun-gold in the fields. Pleasingly detailed overall, though Liberty's torch hand is a trifle soft. The 1925-D twenty is elusive any finer, with rapidly dwindling populations through Choice and better grades.
