Description

1925-S Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle, AU58
Heavily Melted Branch Mint Issue

1925-S $20 AU58 NGC. One of the challenging mintmarked issues from the mid-1920s, the 1925-S saw nearly its entire mintage wiped out by the 1930s Gold Recall. More than 3.4 million pieces of the 3.7 million original mintage are confirmed lost to melting. Most of the remaining mintage circulated domestically, since only 500 or so examples have returned from foreign holdings. This still-lustrous orange-gold coin is nearly Mint State, with remarkably unabraded surfaces from a short stint in circulation. The strike retains its bold definition.(Registry values: N2998)
