Lot 2717
1915 $20 St. Gaudens. PCGS graded MS-64. Scarce date. Light golden toning. Bright with tawny-gold color originality, with luster flitting back and forth across the surface, both sides exhibit extremely few blemishes. A generous amount of crisp detail for the type further enhances things, including the key areas with the usual weak metal flows into the deepest channels of the dies. In other words, the centers are bold. Pop 189; 28 finer in 65. (PCGS # 9167) .
The 1915 has an original mintage of only 152,000 business strikes, and survivors are scarce to rare above the BU grade levels.
Estimated Value $4,000 - 4,500.
