Description

1928 $20 MS66 PCGS. The 1928 double eagle set the record for the largest number minted of any United States gold coin, but for unknown reasons it not the most common of the series. Guth and Garrett (2006) speculate that many might have been melted in the 1930s or are currently in foreign bank vaults. Regardless, this high grade example features attractive yellow-gold patina. The bright, frosted luster is unaffected by a couple of microscopic bagmarks. A fully struck piece that would make an excellent Saint-Gaudens type coin.(Registry values: N2998)
