Description

1926-D Saint-Gaudens Twenty, MS64
Sought-After Series Rarity in High Grade

1926-D $20 MS64 PCGS. From a nominal mintage of 481,000 pieces, the 1926-D Saint-Gaudens double eagle has slipped a little from its glory days in the 1940s, when it was considered one of the rarest dates of the series. A small number of coins surfaced in foreign holdings over the years, making the elusive 1926-D slightly more available, but it is still rare in high grade. This attractive Choice specimen offers well-detailed design elements and vivid orange-gold surfaces, with vibrant mint luster on both sides. Only minor signs of contact are evident and eye appeal is outstanding. Population: 26 in 64 (1 in 64+), 6 finer (1/23).
