Lot 1990
1920 $20 St. Gaudens. PCGS graded MS-64. Housed in an Old Green Holder. Well struck with remarkably clean surfaces. The obverse is shimmering with light golden hues while the reverse exhibits sunset golden colors. A Premium Quality example for the grade. Several seemingly plentiful dates in this series are elusive above MS62 or MS63 condition. The Philadelphia Mint's delivery of 228,250 Double Eagles in 1920 is somewhat on the low side for the series, yet not unusual. Although limited, this mintage figure does not even begin to portray the conditionally rare status of this issue. The market valuation in MS64 and above, in particular, suggests these are rarely offered. An obviously important, and conditionally scarce, near-Gem, the present example is earmarked for inclusion in the finest specialized collection. Pop 810; 16 finer, 15 in 64+, 1 in 65 (PCGS # 9170) .
Estimated Value $6,000 - 7,000.
