Lot Description

Remarkable Second 1924-S $20 Gold 1924-S Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle. MS-63 (NGC). A rare and noteworthy second Mint State offering for this normally elusive mintmarked double eagle issue from the 1920s. This piece is better struck than most 1924-S $20s with all design elements crisp and no evidence of die erosion at the borders on either side. Beautiful orange-gold color and billowy, softly frosted luster further enhance the eye appeal. With an uncommonly smooth appearance in hand for the assigned grade, this uncommonly well produced and preserved coin is eagerly awaiting inclusion in an advanced collection of Saint-Gaudens twenties. Provenance: From the Collection of Dr. Gregory D. Jay. PCGS# 9179. NGC ID: 26G9. Click here for certification details from NGC.
