<B>1924-D $20 MS64 PCGS.</B></I> A little over 3 million 1924-D double eagles were struck, and most apparently remained in Treasury vaults in the United States and were subsequently melted in the mid-1930s. Perhaps a couple of thousand pieces were exported, these being the main source for collectors today, having been repatriated from Europe in the 1940s and 1950s. Most of these were in the lower levels of Mint State, making this issue very rare above MS63 condition.<BR> Both sides of this near-Gem example are awash in vibrant brassy-gold luster. An exacting strike results in better-than-average detail, including the peripheral areas that are often weak on this issue. A few minute obverse marks preclude Gem classification.<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>)
