Wonderful 1926-S Twenty, MS64

1926-S $20 MS64 PCGS. CAC. One of the important and elusive dates in the Saint-Gaudens series, the 1926-S double eagle had an original mintage of more than 2 million coins, but few were actually released to banks and circulation. The majority of coins struck remained in vaults until the mid- to late-1930s, when they were melted. This example is fully brilliant with magnificent yellow-gold luster and only a few entirely insignificant marks. PCGS has only graded 29 finer examples of the date (8/08).(Registry values: N2998)
