1924 $20 Saint Gaudens Double Eagle NGC MS65

Because of the vast quantities of coins certified by the major grading companies, this attractive gem 1924 $20 Saint is being offered by AUCM at a truly great price! Jeff Garrett writes, "Much of Europe was in financial distress around this time [1924] and large quantities of this [date] were sent overseas for international banking transactions. Many sat there for decades and large numbers continue to find their way back to the United States each year.... the abundance of coins available makes this a great candidate for a type coin of the issue." NGC has graded 39,084 as MS65 with 6,859 finer. Collectors Universe prices this issue in MS65 as $2,850.00.
