<B>1924-D $20 MS64 PCGS.</B></I> The 1924-D, along with its S-mint counterpart of the same year, is one of the earliest "melt rarities" in the Saint-Gaudens double eagle series. Garrett and Guth speculate that up to "a few thousand" survived the gold recall of the Roosevelt administration, but high-end examples are unavailable, and a Choice example such as the present piece is the best all but a handful of collectors can hope to acquire.<BR> Peach-inflected yellow-gold surfaces offer soft, swirling luster on this lovely near-Gem. The central devices are well-defined and show few flaws overall, though a single abrasion is noted near Liberty's waist. Slightly hazy from likely extended storage, but a pleasing representative nonetheless. PCGS has graded only nine finer examples (2/08).<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>)
