Difficult 1925-S Double Eagle, MS63

1925-S $20 MS63 PCGS. The 1925-S is among the several high-mintage postwar issues that were virtually destroyed when the Treasury melted its gold coin holdings following Franklin Roosevelt's 1933 gold recall. Only a minute percentage of 1925-S twenties were ever issued, many going into West Coast circulation. PCGS has certified one piece as VF35, along with 169 others (as of 6/10) between XF40 and AU58. Other survivors were exported to Europe in return for goods and eventually returned in limited numbers, with only a handful in MS65 or better grades. For the 1925-S, the MS63 grade provides a combination of value and attainability. The present Select example has lustrous and nicely struck apricot-gold surfaces. Faint abrasions are distributed, none individually consequential aside from an unobtrusive thin mark beneath the LLA in DOLLARS.(Registry values: N4719)
