Description

1926-S Double Eagle, MS65
Mass-Melted San Francisco Issue

1926-S $20 MS65 PCGS. Of the 2 million double eagles manufactured at the San Francisco Mint in 1926, it is believed that only 2,000 pieces survived the mass meltings that took place after the Gold Recall of 1933. Most of the examples that avoided destruction derive from overseas repatriations and show scattered bagmarks, typically grading between MS62 and MS64. This is an exceptional Gem, minimally abraded with marvelous golden-orange surfaces and radiant mint luster. Well-defined, except on the Capitol dome, with minor "vault dirt" above CA in AMERICA. Population: 40 in 65 (2 in 65+), 4 finer (9/19).(Registry values: N7079)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 26GF, PCGS# 9185, Greysheet# 10183)

Weight: 33.44 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
