1916-S $20 MS67 NGC. Among S-mint Saint-Gaudens issues
<B>1916-S $20 MS67 NGC.</B></I> Among S-mint Saint-Gaudens issues, few dates are as obtainable as the 1916-S in grades up to and including Gem condition. Indeed, population figures indicate that the number of MS64 and finer survivors totals several thousand coins. The appearance of a Superb example, however, is a vastly different story. This marks only the third time that Heritage has offered an MS67 of this issue, including the outstanding Philip H. Morse specimen that realized just over $25,000 in November 2005. This satin-like representative boasts peerless fields and lovely, delicate orange accents. Trivial contact in the vicinity of Liberty's knee is the only noticeable disturbance on the silky-smooth surfaces. There are only three coins so graded at NGC, with none finer, while PCGS has certified none finer than MS66 (4/07).<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
