Description

Impressive 1926-S Saint-Gaudens Twenty Dollar

1926-S $20 MS 62 PCGS. Although far from common when viewed in the wider context of the Saint-Gaudens double eagle series, the 1926-S is the most easily obtainable branch mint issue of the 1924-1927 era. We have seen few BU double eagles that are as attractive as this orange-gold example. The relative lack of abrasions is suggestive of a significantly higher grade, and the luster is bright and fully frosted. Sharply defined.
From the David & Jeannie Cheung Collection.
