<B>1927-S $20 AU58 PCGS.</B></I> Part of the limelight shining on the 1927-S is reflected glory from the luminescent 1927-D, "legitimately viewed as the rarest circulation strike of any Saint-Gaudens double eagle except 1933" (Bowers <I>Guide Book of Double Eagles). </B></I>However, the 1927-S is also quite a rarity in its own right, one that Bowers describes as "very rare" and "usually found in AU or lower Mint State grades." This piece is just a hair's breadth away from Mint State, showing as light rub on Liberty's breast and the highpoint of the eagle's left wing. As usually seen on this issue, the Capitol dome and some of the obverse letter tops and the extreme top of the torch are softly struck. Deep yellow-gold surfaces still retain much of their original mint luster. A nice coin for 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>)
