Description

Frosty 1925-D Saint-Gaudens Twenty
MS64, Rare in High Grade

1925-D $20 MS64 NGC. Until a few hoards of this issue were discovered in the 1950s and 1960s, this issue was considered one of the major rarities of the Saint-Gaudens design. While still an important rarity today, the '25-D is overshadowed by many others, and now ranks 16th in rarity, according to David Akers. Based on data in the NGC Census Report, this issue ranks 12th in population. Just six finer MS65 examples of this issue have been certified by NGC (and one MS66). This Choice Mint State example has attractive orange-gold coloration with sharp design features and frosty luster.
