Desirable Select 1925-S Double Eagle

1925-S $20 MS63 PCGS. Due to the mass meltings of the 1930s that annihilated this and many other later mintmarked Saint-Gaudens double eagle issues, the 1925-S twenty is scarce in an absolute sense and a rarity any finer than this Select coin, with just 26 such pieces graded by PCGS (6/09). While this example's strike is slightly soft on Liberty's torch hand and her foot, the central definition is crisp, and the yellow-gold luster is potent. A small line of abrasions trails from the end of the branch to the rim, and these flaws largely account for the grade, though their impact on the overall eye appeal is minimal.(Registry values: N4719)
