This is a 1925-S $20 ST GAUDENS GOLD DOUBLE EAGLE – PCGS MS-62, #38685092 A lingering question amongst Saint Gaudens $20 collectors has always been whatever happened to all of the mint-marked dates in the middle-late 1920s? Conventional wisdom would point to the large mintages of Philadelphia coins satisfying the commercial demand for $20 gold pieces in the pre-depression economy. Perhaps, the Denver and San Francisco minted coins sat idle in treasury vaults until they were finally melted in 1933? The one certainty is that most of these branch-mint dates are rare today. The 1925-S is no exception. The present example has rich orange-gold luster with the characteristic beveled rims, a diagnostic for this date. Surface abrasions are far less than one would expect for the assigned grade. Here is your opportunity to acquire a near-choice example of one of the more difficult dates in the Saint Gaudens series. Our commitment is to provide you with quality coins and collectibles at the best possible prices. This piece is no exception.
