1923-D $20 Saint Gaudens Double Eagle PCGS MS64

This is a stunning example of one of our most original coin designs. Jeff Garrett writes: "As most examples are boldly struck and show radiant luster, this date is often chosen to represent the type if just a single coin is desired." PCGS has graded 2,880 in MS64, with 4,940 finer.

Gold specialist David Akers writes, " Without a doubt, the 1923-D is one of the most consistently attractive issues of the entire series. Even middle grade Mint State pieces generally have excellent 'eye appeal' and MS-64 or better pieces rank right at the top of the Saint-Gaudens list in terms of overall appearance. The typical 1923-D is frosty, fully struck and highly lustrous. The color is invariably excellent, almost always rich orange or coppery gold, often with greenish gold highlights."
