# 1924 Saint-Gaudens $20 Gold Double Eagle. PCGS MS-64 | Philadelphia Mint. A quintessential representative of the beloved Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle series, this 1924 Philadelphia Mint gold coin represents a pinnacle of early 20th-century American numismatic artistry. Designed by the renowned sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, this specimen exemplifies the pinnacle of pre-1933 gold coinage with its exceptional 64-grade preservation. Struck during a prolific year for the Philadelphia Mint, with a substantial mintage of 4,323,500 pieces, this coin features the classic high-relief design characteristic of the series. Composed of 90% gold and 10% copper, the piece weighs 33.4 grams and measures 34mm in diameter. The PCGS certification (31576565) guarantees the coin's authenticity and condition, placing it in the upper echelons of surviving specimens from its year. The coin exhibits the series' hallmark characteristics: a light to medium orange-gold color with sharp striking details and frosty mint luster.
