Lot 2315		1931-D $20 St. Gaudens. NGC graded MS-65. One of the finest graded of the date, and a rarity in all grades. Breen estimated in his Encyclopedia that only 30-35 survived, but this number appears low as the combined NGC and PCGS Population Reports show 121 pieces graded in all grades. Of those graded, NGC has seen 8 this high, with none graded higher, and PCGS has graded 17 this high, with just 2 graded higher. Certainly one of the better ones known, this lustrous gem boasts greenish-gold luster around the periphery, and deeper copper shades towards the centers. Minor handling marks but not enough to keep this from the gem class, as a strong glass will reveal. Soon the only legally available 1933 will be offered amid much publicity, why not put this rarity away now before that sale takes place? An opportunity for the advanced numismatist. Estimated Value $35,000-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
