Elusive 1925-S Double Eagle, MS63

1925-S $20 MS63 PCGS. CAC. Not exactly a small mintage issue, the 1925-S double eagles were produced to the extent of 3,776,500 pieces. In the 1930s, however, the vast majority of those coins were melted by the federal government. Today there are probably fewer than 1,000 survivors, unless one or more hoards of this San Francisco date still exist, perhaps in Europe or South America. The current offering is a lovely Select Mint State example with remarkably smooth surfaces and pleasing, if not spectacular luster across each side. Just two or three small marks are found on the obverse, and a handful more are evident on the reverse.(Registry values: N4719)
