<Our item number 118184><B>1915 &#36;20 St. Gaudens. PCGS graded MS-65.</B> Low mintage date: 152,050 pieces. Nice gold and orange toning. A scarce date in gem condition. And in fact, an extraordinary gem of the finest order in its grade, no doubt something of a sleeper in being overlooked by mainstream collectors. Broadly sweeping cartwheel luster glows brightly throughout its frosty surfaces; at first glance, Roman Finish Proofs come to mind. In reference to the strike, now that the luster has been told, we see a meticulous strike in all the vital areas, including Liberty&#39;s face, nose, eyes, forehead and hair, as well as on the eagle&#39;s plethora of feathers &#40;including those on the breast&#41;. At the time this &#36;20 gold piece was made, war had already broken out in Europe. American business was feeling the first effects of the war-boom, production for which created a rise in employment as well as a great expansion of industrial activity and agriculture that lasted into 1919. Unlike the bellige rents in World War I, America remained on the Gold Standard throughout 1914-18. <B>Pop 32; none finer at PCGS</B> <B>&#40;PCGS # 9167&#41;</B>. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;18,000-20,000. <I><BR>The Dr. Robert Hesselgesser Collection.</I> <BR><BR>Our item number 118184<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/42jpegs/118184.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/42jpegs/118184N2.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/42jpegs/118184N3.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
