Saint-Gaudens Double Eagles
1909-D $20 MS64 PCGS. Once considered one of the top issues in the Saint-Gaudens series, the 1909-D became available in lower Mint State grades in 1983 when a hoard of several hundred pieces was discovered in Central America. Few of those pieces were of MS64 or better quality. Still, better grade 1909-D twenties are more available today than 30 years ago. Satiny mint luster overlays granular, matte-like finish on the present coin. The strike is strong throughout and there are no large or detracting abrasions. The obverse is reddish tinted while the reverse is noticeably bright yellow-gold in the center with reddish-gold at the margin.
Ex: Chicago Signature (Heritage, 8/2011), lot 7693.
