# 1924-D Saint-Gaudens $20 Gold Double Eagle - PCGS MS64. An exceptional example of this conditionally scarce pre-1933 gold issue from the Denver Mint, this 1924-D Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle represents a significant opportunity for the discerning numismatist and gold coin collector. Struck during the height of the Saint-Gaudens design era, this *MS64* specimen showcases the legendary Augustus Saint-Gaudens' iconic artistic vision. With a total mintage of 3,049,500, the 1924-D is a relatively accessible date within the series, yet remarkably challenging to obtain in high grade. PCGS has graded only 184 total examples, with merely 35 coins at or above this grade level, underscoring this piece's numismatic significance. The coin exhibits the characteristic frosty, greenish-gold to orange-rose coloration typical of high-quality 1924-D Double Eagles. While the date is known for occasional border softness due to die deterioration, this example maintains strong central device strike and impressive visual appeal. The 90% gold composition and 34mm diameter represent the standard specifications of these magnificent $20 gold pieces, embodying the pinnacle of early 20th-century American coinage artistry.
