Choice 1926-S Saint-Gaudens Twenty
Attractive Lustrous Surfaces

1926-S $20 MS64 PCGS. Once considered one of the Big Three dates in the Saint-Gaudens double eagle series, the 1926-S was represented in several European hoards that surfaced in the 1950s. The issue remains rare above the Choice level, as PCGS has certified only 32 coins in higher numeric grades. The present coin is well struck, with some softness on the Capital and central obverse. The surfaces radiate strong mint luster and handling marks are minimal for the grade.(Registry values: N2998)

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
