Lot 1344 - 1929 $20 St. Gaudens NGC MS65
1929 $20 St. Gaudens. Although not as widely known among the general collecting public as the more publicized dates of the 1930s, the elusive 1929 opens the final chapter of the Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle saga where every issue henceforth through the year 1933 is a major rarity. While the 1929 is among the most available dates of this group in terms of overall numbers, it is seldom located at the MS65 level.

As is characteristic of the issue, this coin displays razor-sharp definition and is minimally abraded, with outstanding warm golden luster. Crisp bloom from the dies like this make for a very appealing specimen whose reputation among coin collectors is as timeless and rock solid as the sword Excalibur set in the stone in the tale of King Arthur!
