1924-S $20 MS63 PCGS. The San Francisco Mint struck more than 2.9 million double eagles in 1924, but according to research by Roger Burdette, all but about 250,000 pieces were melted in the 1930s. The quarter-million coins that were paid out to Federal Reserve banks have largely not survived. Burdette estimates a population today of only about 1,100 coins. This Select example is well-struck and lustrous, showing rich orange-gold coloration. Abrasions are minimal. HID03101062020 © 2020 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
