Lot 1465

1927-S $20 St. Gaudens. PCGS graded MS-63. The 1927-S $20 St. Gaudens was, at one time, considered to be one of the rarest of all St. Gaudens. When shipments of Double Eagles were returned from Europe in the 1960’s - 70’s, a smattering of the 1927-S $20 were found, raising the population to about 200-225 known! Still a great and famous rarity, the 1927-S remains a fabulous addition to any coin collection.

According to David Akers "copper stains are very common on this" but, this select specimen is certainly among the more attractive examples of the 1927-S. The strike is remarkably strong, with abundant frosty brilliance over both the fields and devices. In addition to its overall rarity, this piece is also significant among gold enthusiasts as a memorable condition rarity. Mintage 3,107,000 (PCGS Pop. 27 in MS-63, with only 13 graded higher, the highest grade being a single MS-67 example. A total of 127 coins in all grades. 11/1/11).
Estimate $25,000 - 35,000.

Realized: $45,000
