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) .
Estimated Value $4,500 - 5,500.
