Bright 1926-D Double Eagle, MS63

1926-D $20 MS63 PCGS. Most of the 481,000-piece mintage of 1926-D double eagles was melted in the 1930s. The few survivors were found overseas, or were held back by a few wealthy collectors. The PCGS/NGC population reports show only about 270 pieces in all grades.
Bright luster exudes from both sides of this Select offering, each of which displays an attractive medley of peach-gold, lime-green, ice-blue, and lilac patina. A well directed strike brings out sharp definition on the design features, except for softness on the Capitol dome. Minute contact marks account for the grade. Population: 49 in 63, 23 finer (3/09).(Registry values: N7079)

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
