Saint-Gaudens Double Eagles
1924-D $20 MS63 PCGS. The Select Uncirculated level starts a rapid decline in the availability of this Denver issue, which was heavily melted when not secured in foreign holdings. The Mint-fresh cartwheel luster and minimally abraded rich-gold surfaces suggest this coin may have survived domestically, although its provenance is unknown. The strike is sharp in most regards and any marks are secondary to the notable eye appeal.
