High Grade 1925-D Saint-Gaudens Twenty
Seldom Found Finer

1925-D $20 MS64 PCGS. The mintmarked issues in the 1920s are generally characterized by significant mintages, yet most are elusive. Q. David Bowers wrote: "The 1925-D is another entry in the enticing lineup of later-date Saint-Gaudens mintmarks that once were rare, but today are less so, although it remains very elusive. Most are in the lower Mint State ranges and probably came from French banks in recent decades."
Though Choice pieces are available for a price, Gems and better are very rare. This example is an attractive representative with sharp overall definition. In fact, nearly all aspects of the design are boldly rendered. The surfaces have satiny luster with faint reflectivity in the yellow-gold fields, which exhibit subtle rose highlights. PCGS has graded only six pieces finer. (2/10).(Registry values: N4719)
