1915-S Double Eagle, MS66
Numerically the Finest Grade at PCGS

1915-S $20 MS66 PCGS. CAC. Ex: Simpson. Although the 1915-S is considered a common issue and the second most plentiful Saint-Gaudens issue of the first decade, few survive at the Premium Gem level, and PCGS has never certified a numerically finer example. This sharply struck example has rich orange-gold luster with exceptional, pristine surfaces and a high degree of aesthetic appeal. While PCGS has certified eight marginally finer MS66+ examples, this piece tops the list of MS66 coins in the PCGS Coin Facts Condition Census. CAC: 26 in 66, 0 finer (11/22).
