1925-S $20 St. Gaudens. PCGS graded MS-63. Well struck with nice golden toning. A few obverse marks otherwise would grade a point or 2 higher. A thrilling example of this always-popular rare issue. This exceptional coin is beautifully toned and very nicely struck, including almost full features on the eagle. Only Liberty's nose is struck a little weakly as are a few breast feathers below the neck of the eagle. The 1925-S is similar in condition rarity to the other heavily melted dates such as 1924-S and 1926-D, but it is clearly not the absolute rarity that the '26-D is. The 1925-S, like the 1926-D, was evidently never found in overseas hoards of double eagles, explaining in large part why these two dates are so rare. Pop 66; 19 finer. (PCGS # 9182) .
Estimated Value $20,000 - 22,000.
