# 1909-D Saint-Gaudens $20 Gold Double Eagle. PCGS MS-63 | Denver Mint | Rare Pre-1933 Gold Coin. This exceptional 1909-D Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle represents a significant numismatic treasure from the early 20th-century Denver Mint gold coinage. Struck in a limited mintage of just 52,500 pieces, this specimen is graded a desirable *PCGS MS-63*, capturing the exquisite artistry of Augustus Saint-Gaudens' iconic design at a choice Mint State level. The coin emerged from a notable 1983 Central American hoard, which dramatically transformed the availability of this date. Prior to this discovery, the 1909-D was extraordinarily rare in Mint State, particularly in grades of MS-63 and above. Characterized by a short, wide mintmark and subtle die scratches, this example displays the characteristic soft frosty surfaces with hints of orange and greenish-gold toning typical of the hoard coins. Technical Specifications: - Mint: Denver. - Composition: 90% Gold, 10% Copper. - Weight: 33.4g. - Diameter: 34mm. - Edge: Lettered. - Mintage: 52,500. With only 220 specimens graded higher and a total population of 129, this *PCGS MS-63* represents an important opportunity for advanced gold coin collectors. The coin offers exceptional eye appeal and historical significance, making it a prized addition to any sophisticated numismatic collection.
