Rare 1926-D Twenty Dollar, MS62

1926-D $20 MS62 PCGS. In the 1940s, the 1926-D double eagle was believed to be an extremely rare coin. The generous mintage of 481,000 pieces was nearly wiped out in the great Gold Recall of the 1930s. Fortunately, some of that mintage was used in international commerce, and a small number of specimens of the issue have been discovered in European holdings over the years.
The present piece is predominantly orange, but the obverse margin displays sea-green. The strike is good, although the Capitol building shows selected softness. Satin luster envelops the coin, and only scattered abrasions limit the grade. Population: 44 in 62, 80 finer (6/10).(Registry values: N4719)
