1924-S $20
1924-S $20 MS63 PCGS. CAC. It took several decades to document the genuine scarcity of the 1924-S double eagle. Although nearly 3 million coins were minted, few were actually released stateside and a great many pieces were melted during the Gold Recall of the early 1930s. Then and shortly thereafter into the 1940s and early 1950s, the 1924-S was considered a great rarity -- that is, before about 1,100 pieces made their way from overseas holdings into the collector marketplace in more recent decades. Despite this influx, the 1924-S maintains its status as a highly coveted branch mint issue among collectors. This frosty orange-gold example shows only minor abrasions for the Select Uncirculated grade. Housed in an early PCGS "rattler" holder, the coin earns CAC endorsement for its minimal marks, bold strike, and lustrous eye appeal. HID10510052018 © 2024 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
