1931-D $20

Description

1931-D MS 60. Lovely pink and orange-gold colorations. Satiny, with plenty of original mint frost and deep, swirling cartwheel luster on both sides. The 1931-D is one of the major rarities of the series and has an original mintage of 106,500 pieces (although the majority of these are presumed to have been destroyed). A number of examples have been graded so far by PCGS (4/94), and the grades are fairly well distributed over the MS 60 to MS 65 range, with the largest number appearing as MS 63s. We suspect that a number of these are resubmissions, so the actual population may be lower. In any event, this is an important coin for the specialist. While technically nicer coins exist, we doubt if many have the nice eye appeal expressed by this jewel.
