Lot 2784		1915 $20 St. Gaudens. PCGS graded MS-62. Bright yellow.

Lot 2793		1922-S $20 St. Gaudens. PCGS graded MS-64. Deep, creamy mint frost on both sides. Gorgeous, pale yellow surfaces with hints of green and gold toning. Wonderful eye appeal for both the date and the grade. Scarce as a 64 and almost impossible to find nicer. PCGS reports 114 in this grade, 5 in MS-65, and only 1 in MS-66.

Lot 2809		1924-D $20 St. Gaudens. PCGS graded MS-63. PQ. Lovely orange and gold toning. If not for some marks on either side, this coin would be a lock 64, which would make it considerably more valuable. This is a tough, tough date, even in this grade and finding anything better is a real test of time, patience, and money. PCGS reports 100 in this grade, 121 in MS-64, 3 in MS-65, and 1 in MS-66 (PCGS # 9178) . Estimated Value $5,300 - 6,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $6,325
Lot 2810		1924-D $20 St. Gaudens. PCGS graded MS-63. A boldly struck example with excellent mint bloom color.

A few bagmarks are noted on either side, but none are heavy or distractive. Hard to find this nice and definitely a rarity in higher grades. PCGS reports 118 in MS-63, 45 in MS-64, 2 in MS-65, and one in MS-67 (PCGS # 9179) . Estimated Value $5,000 - 5,500. View details Check results on similar lots	Realized $5,980

Lot 2814		1925-D $20 St. Gaudens. NGC graded MS-64. Gorgeous, sun-kissed orange-gold toning. A very pretty coin that deserves every point of the assigned grade. A classic condition-rarity in the series and one that was never discovered in large quantities in Swiss vaults. NGC reports 52 in this grade, 4 in MS-65, and none finer. Estimated Value $14,000 - 17,000. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $18,975
Lot 2815		1926 $20 St. Gaudens. PCGS graded MS-64. PQ. Gorgeous, orange-yellow toning on both sides. We could not figure out why this coin wasn't in a 65 holder until we finally saw it -- a long, well-hidden scratch running down Liberty's right leg (it looks like a regular fold in her gown)! Even so, this is a gemmy 64 (PCGS # 9183) . Estimated Value $750 - 850. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $920
Lot 2816		1926 $20 St. Gaudens. PCGS graded MS-64. A lovely coin with rich golden mint bloom color throughout (PCGS # 9183) . Estimated Value $625 - 675. Acquired from Leo Young 11/4/61 at the C.S.N.A. show. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $748

Lot 2818		1926-S $20 St. Gaudens. PCGS graded MS-64 PQ. A stunning coin, well struck and ablaze with rich golden mint bloom color throughout. This beauty is housed in a 1st generation PCGS holder and is destined to be cracked out and resubmited for a higher grade, thus our Premium Quality designation. Pop of 188 with 10 in MS-65 and 1 in MS-66. Estimated Value $6,000 - 8,000. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 2819		1926-S $20 St. Gaudens. PCGS graded MS-64. A boldly struck example of this important date -- even Liberty's shnozz is well-defined. Both sides feature a strong, chrome-like luster and a bold cartwheel brilliance. The color is a sunny yellow-orange with pinkish highlights in the centers. We suspect that several attempts will be made to get this in a 65 holder after the coin leaves our hands. And, we wouldn't be surprised if it made it! Very scarce in higher grades, the 1926-S Double Eagle is represented by 187 coins in this grade, 10 in MS-65, and only 1 in MS-66 (according to the PCGS Population Report) (PCGS # 9185) .
