1924-S $20 MS65 NGC.
1924-S $20 MS65 NGC. While the 1924-S is generally available for a price in the lower grades of Uncirculated, it is very rare in Gem condition. In fact, it is virtually unavailable in MS65. Only nine pieces have been so graded by both NGC and PCGS with only one piece finer (11/03). The reason for this is obvious when one thinks about it. Most of the known '24-S twenties come from European hoards, and as a result, abrasions are quite numerous. Very few coins from the hoards were clean enough to warrant a Gem grade in today's market, and there were only a few high grade coins known before the hoard coins became available some forty years ago. This is a sparkling, well struck example that has rich reddish patina and no obvious abrasions that would make tracing this coin's pedigree simpler. Exceptional quality and rarity. Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
