<B>1924-D $20 MS64 PCGS.</B></I> During the 1920s, most double eagle issues were exported to Europe where they were preserved for several decades until returning to appreciative collectors in this county. However, there were a few exceptions, such as the 1924-D. Despite a mintage in excess of 3 million coins, few were exported. Most sat untouched in Treasury vaults until they were melted in the 1930s. The same scenario was repeated several more times, creating the important branch mint rarities of today.<BR> An amazing example of the scarce 1924-D double eagle, this piece exhibits rich orange luster, brilliant mint frost, and mostly sharp design elements. The Washington city scene is slightly weak, but all other design details are boldly defined. The surfaces are pristine, and the overall appearance is that of a Gem quality specimen. PCGS has certified nine pieces finer (12/07).<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>)
