<B>1929 $20 MS61 PCGS.</B></I> The Depression-era Saint-Gaudens double eagle issues are all prized, and while the 1929 might be the most available of the six date and mint combinations that qualify, it remains a challenging issue for all but the most well-heeled collectors. Available populations of circulated pieces are small, simply because the coins did not enter hand-to-hand commerce; rather, the supply of survivors has largely come from European repatriations, where the coins had lain for decades.<BR> This MS61 piece offers an affordable alternative to the pricier Select and better categories. Though the lemon-gold surfaces do show a number of light to moderate abrasions, the well struck devices are surprisingly well-preserved for the grade assigned. Overall, this is a desirable example from an important and coveted late-date issue.<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>)
