Saint-Gaudens Double Eagles
1924-S $20 MS62 PCGS. Nearly 3 million double eagles were minted in San Francisco in 1924, but the issue is elusive today in the context of Saint-Gaudens double eagles. Most of the mintage was stored in Mint and Treasury vaults until melted in the mid-1930s. The obverse of this example has a few small scrapes, with frosty yellow luster and wispy orange overtones. Additional scattered marks on each side are mostly hidden in the design elements.
Ex: Pittsburgh Signature (Heritage, 10/2011), lot 5273.
