Scarce 1926-S Double Eagle, MS63

1926-S $20 MS63 NGC. Ex: Pittman. This better date Saint-Gaudens twenty has a yellow-gold center and rich olive-green toning near the rims. The fields display only minor grazes, and a couple of pinscratches are concealed within the plumage. A lustrous and sharply struck example of this extensively melted issue, which was considered a great rarity at the time of Pittman's 1956 purchase.
