1925-S Twenty Dollar, MS64
Significantly Rare Any Finer

1925-S $20 MS64 PCGS. All mintmarked Saint-Gaudens double eagles from 1920 to 1932 present challenges. The 1925-S sits between a pair of demanding Denver Mint issues -- the scarce 1925-D and the rare 1926-D -- just as it is often overshadowed by the 1924-S and 1927-S. All are formidable "melt rarities," with their substantial mintages decimated by FDR's Gold Recall of the 1930s. A surprising number of 1925-S double eagles exist in circulated grades, yet only about a dozen pieces achieve the coveted Gem Uncirculated grade or finer. Choice Uncirculated 1925-S coins are rare as well. This is a solid near-Gem example. Bagmarks are few and widely separated, suggesting it survived in an original bag with little handling, perhaps in an unopened bag from South America. The strike shows only minor weakness at the torch hand, while the rims are stronger than many 1925-S twenties. The issue is in high demand today, with only a few coins of this caliber existing for the growing collector base. Population: 25 in 64 (4 in 64+), 6 finer (10/22).(Registry values: N7079)
