<B>1913 $20 MS64 PCGS.</B></I> Garrett and Guth, writing in their <I>Encyclopedia of U.S. Gold Coins, 1795-1933 </B></I>(2006), point out that the 1913 issue of Saint-Gaudens double eagles were struck "as the world teetered on the brink of war," which slowed the circulation of gold across international borders. Consequently, this date saw a limited mintage of 168,700 pieces. Well struck except for minor softness on Liberty's legs and torso, this conditionally scarce near-Gem displays excellent luster and lovely lime-gold and rose coloration. Some trivial marks are noted on the lower reverse field, beneath the eagle, and several tiny dark specks are likewise situated on the lower half of the reverse. The obverse is clean.<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Augustus Saint-Gaudens<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
