<B>1926-D $20 MS62 PCGS.</B></I> Most of the 1926-D double eagle mintage of 481,000 pieces appears to have been retained in the United States and subsequently melted in the 1930s. Apparently none were sent overseas, as no hoards or significant accumulations have been discovered.<BR> The 1926-D is one of the key dates in the series of Saint-Gaudens double eagles, and when available is usually seen in MS60 to MS63 at best. This is borne out by PCGS/NGC population figures, that show fewer than 30 near-Gems and Gems having been certified.<BR> This MS62 specimen displays lustrous surfaces with variegated yellow and orange-gold patina. Its strike is better than usually seen on the issue, with sharp definition on Liberty's fingers and toes and on the eagle's feathers. The most notable flaw on the generally well preserved surfaces is a linear mark located in the right obverse field.<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>)
