<B>1924-S $20 MS64 NGC.</B></I> The 1924-S double eagle started with a mintage approaching 3 million pieces, but heavy meltings in the 1930s significantly reduced the population. The only '24-S twenties to survive were those held in French and Swiss banks, which were not many to begin with when compared with other issues, such as those from the teens. A few more were discovered in the 1950s and 1960s. All in all, enough pieces surfaced to make the issue more available through the MS63 level. Near-Gem and finer coins remain condition rarities.<BR> Highly attractive swirling luster exudes from the apricot-gold and mint-green surfaces of this MS64 example. A well executed strike leaves strong detail on the motifs, and a few minute marks define the grade.<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>)
