Lot 1984
1914-D $20 St. Gaudens. NGC graded MS-66. Housed in an Old Holder. A sparkling gem with a blush of golden sunset colors on both sides. While the 1914-D is among the more plentiful Saint-Gaudens Double Eagles in lower Mint State grades, it is very difficult to obtain at the Gem level which approaches superb (67). In fact, the present MS66 example is the only of only 45 example known to NGC and, perhaps not surprisingly, there are only 2 finer. Both sides are bursting with cartwheel mint satin, the surfaces also displaying gorgeous orange-gold patina. The color appears to deepen towards the outer boundary on either side. Sharply struck up with not a single detracting blemish. A coin for the specialist who will only the most attractive Saint-Gaudens twenties for his collection. Pop 45; 2 finer in 67 (PCGS # 9165) .
Estimated Value $9,000 - 10,000.
