Choice Quality 1929 Double Eagle

1929 $20 MS64 PCGS. Following the extensive mintage of double eagles in Philadelphia from 1924 through 1928, the 1929 and later issues had smaller production. Actually, this is not quite true. Production continued on a rather extensive basis, such as 1,779,750 double eagles in 1929 and 2,938,250 in 1931. It's just that most of these coins were never released, having remained in Treasury vaults until the 1933 gold recall. Most were eventually melted. At one time, this issue was considered one of the major rarities of the series, although recently a quantity of this issue has appeared on the market. Despite this, the issue remains substantially priced, and Choice and Gem quality coins are elusive. This example has excellent yellow-gold color with frosty luster. The surfaces are exceptional for the grade and the overall degree of eye appeal is quite high. Population: 85 in 64, 18 finer (10/04).(#9190) (Registry values: N7079)
