Conditionally Rare 1925-S Twenty, MS64 PCGS

1925-S $20 MS64 PCGS. Of the few hundred '25-S Double Eagles that survived the extensive gold meltings in the 1930s, the largest percentage have seen varying amounts of wear. As such, it is one of the few mintmarked issues from this decade that actually circulated to any appreciable degree. The precious few Mint State pieces extant are typically softly struck, particularly at the borders. This near-Gem specimen is not only well defined throughout, but the thick, satiny brilliance it displays is interrupted only by an occasional surface mark on the reverse. Save for a couple of full Gem examples of this very rare issue, this boldly struck specimen is certainly among the finest known. Population: 12 in 64, 3 finer (8/04).(#9182) (Registry values: N7079)
