<B>1922 $20 MS66 PCGS.</B></I> The 1922 Saint-Gaudens double eagle is sometimes lumped (together with the 1923) in with the much more common P-mint issues ranging from 1924 through 1928. However, the 1922 is many times rarer in Gem and finer condition than the later, more-common P-mints (excepting the 1923, which is slightly rarer than the 1922). As a comparison, while in MS66 PCGS has certified seven and three examples, respectively, of the 1922 and 1923 issues, it has certified more than 7,000 examples of the 1924 in the same grade! The 1925 through 1928 each show PCGS populations of several hundred to several thousand in the same MS66 grade.<BR> In addition to their rarity, most Mint State 1922 double eagles are well produced, lustrous, and boldly struck. This piece is certainly no exception: The strike is uniformly sharp, and gorgeous cartwheel luster bursts forth from the orange-gold surfaces with a light veneer of smoky gray in the left obverse field. <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>)
