Description

Choice 1926-S Saint-Gaudens Twenty

1926-S $20 MS64 PCGS. The mintage of the 1926-S is more than double that of its Philadelphia Mint counterpart. However, the 1926 is common in Mint State, while the 1926-S is rare. The answer to this riddle, of course, is Roosevelt's 1933 gold recall, which kept unreleased bags of the '26-S in Treasury hands until their meltage. The present lustrous green-gold near-Gem was among the few that escaped Federal holdings. It is well struck and has a particularly smooth obverse.(Registry values: N2998)
