<B>1926-S $20 MS65 PCGS.</B></I> The overall scarcity of the 1926-S double eagle has diminished over the past few decades, thanks to the repatriation of coins held in European vaults since the 1930s. Still, even after this influx, Choice Mint State examples remain difficult to locate and Gems, including the coin offered here, are highly elusive in the contemporary marketplace.<BR> Both sides of this vibrant, satiny example have escaped any serious abrasions and are draped in instantly appealing reddish-orange patina. Interesting peripheral die cracks are present through the RTY of LIBERTY on the obverse and at the left side of the reverse. In sum, an enticing example of an elusive late-date branch mint Saint-Gaudens twenty. Population: 25 in 65, 2 finer (11/07).<BR><I>From The Jacob Collection of Saint-Gaudens Double Eagles.</B></I><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>)
