Lot 2800
1926-S $20 St. Gaudens. PCGS graded MS-64. Lightly toned. Just a small number of the coins from this issue are extant, despite an original mintage of eclipsing 2 million pieces. Of great benefit to collectors seeking rarities, the Mint State population dwindles rapidly above the MS62-63 level. This well struck MS64 has a pleasing, nearly full strike, and includes medium golden-orange toning. The vitality of the satin luster is first-rate as well, yet not pretentious, and helps to confirm the enviable MS64 grade with well preserved features. A few small contact marks occur on Liberty's figure, but all in all this is an exemplary '26-S of an otherwise mass-melted issue. Very scarce (PCGS # 9185) .
Estimated Value $5,000 - 6,000.
Ex Dr. Hesselgesser.
