<B>1924-S $20 MS65 NGC.</B></I> The 1924-S was at one time considered to be among the rarest of <I>all</B></I> double eagle issues, outranking "the famous MCMVII Ultra High Relief and the incredible Proofs of 1883 and 1884," in the words of Q. David Bowers' double eagle <I>Guide Book.</B></I> Thanks to repatriations from overseas hoards, today the 1924-S is only considered "very rare," and it remains illustrious and noteworthy in Gem condition. This exceptionally pleasing specimen is well defined, with bright, sparkling honey-gold surfaces that are nearly abrasion-free, except for a few inconsequential bagmarks. As a testament to its rarity and desirability, both NGC and PCGS have each graded only a single specimen 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>)
