Lot 2799
1926-S $20 St. Gaudens. PCGS graded MS-64. Rich golden-orange mint luster. Only a small number of the coins from this year are believed to be extant. The original mintage of more than 2 million pieces would tend to point in the opposite direction, and yet the Mint State population dwindles considerable above the 62-63 grade level. This outstanding MS64 displays a pleasing, nearly full strike, also displays exceptionally appealing medium golden-orange color, and has eye-appeal to spare. The glowing satiny luster envelopes everything, and if not flashy, it yet helps to accent the exquisitely preserved features. A few small contact marks are visible on the lower half of Liberty's leg, and on the body of the eagle, but all in all this is an attractive, minimally abraded example. Scarce (PCGS # 9185) .
Estimated Value $5,000 - 6,000.
