Lot 1429
1925-S $20 St. Gaudens. PCGS graded MS-63. Warm golden sunset colors. Both the peripheries and the central areas are impressive for their full luster coverage, and the frosty textured surfaces seem to glisten. Of the few hundred 1925-S Double Eagles that survived the far-reaching gold meltings of the 1930s, the largest fraction have seen some degree of wear. As such, the issue is one of the few mintmarked dates from this era that actually circulated to any meaningful degree. The small number of Mint State pieces in existence are typically softly struck, for the most part at the borders. This original, well struck example is draped in reddish patina and shows only the usual predictable marks. Pop 75; 26 finer (PCGS # 9182) .
Estimated Value $15,000 - 16,000.
