1928 $20 Saint Gaudens Double Eagle PCGS MS66+ (CAC)

Here is a simply stunning piece to add to your collection, one in the superior grade of MS66+. Gold specialist David Akers writes, "For the person wanting a nearly perfect Saint-Gaudens double eagle with great 'eye-appeal,' the 1928 is the most likely issue to be available ... From an overall appearance standpoint, the 1928 is typically one of the best of the series ..."

PCGS has graded 311 as MS66+ with 139 finer. In CAC, there are 376 in MS66/66+ with 26 finer. Akers continues, "The 1928 is always very sharply struck. This issue was clearly minted to a very high quality standard. The surfaces are fully frosty or slightly satiny and the lustre and color are invariably excellent."
