Lot 0549 1912 $20 St. Gaudens PCGS MS65
This Gem quality example is among the finest survivors in existence, being endowed with a gorgeous frosted texture and, unlike many 1912 $20 gold pieces, only sparsely abraded surfaces. However, these are mentioned only to position this coin for future collectors since it is in fact, close to pristine quality. An abundant amount of bright reddish-golden patina rounds out a ideal visual picture. There were only 149,824 pieces struck in 1912. Oddly, this denomination was struck only at the Philadelphia mint, no 1912 double eagles were issued by Denver or San Francisco.
