Top-Notch Superb Gem 1928 Twenty

1928 $20 MS67 PCGS. CAC. Philadelphia struck all double eagles coined in 1928, and with over 8.8 million pieces struck, the date is widely perceived as common; however, survivors are not so common as with several previous issues. Garrett and Guth cite the 1924, 1927, and 1908 No Motto as issues that are more available across all grades.
Still, the 1928 is one of the most frequently selected dates for type collections, and this Superb Gem is tied at the top of the heap; neither NGC nor PCGS has graded a numerically finer example (6/08). Powerfully lustrous yellow-gold surfaces gain slight orange elements in the fields. Boldly impressed, beautifully preserved, and undeniably attractive.
