Description

# 1924 $20 Saint-Gaudens Gold Double Eagle - PCGS MS64. An exceptional example of the quintessential Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle from the Philadelphia Mint, this 1924 $20 gold piece represents the most prolific issue of its legendary series. Graded PCGS MS64, this coin exemplifies the classic design by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, featuring his iconic high-relief walking Liberty obverse and magnificent eagle reverse. Struck during a period of robust economic production, this coin is part of a mintage of 4,323,500 pieces. The specimen displays characteristic light to medium orange-gold coloration with sharp striking details and excellent mint luster. Its 90% gold, 10% copper composition ensures both numismatic significance and intrinsic precious metal value, typical of the pre-1933 gold coinage era. Population data reveals this coin's collectibility, with 116,171 total graded specimens and 71,353 in higher grades. PCGS MS64 represents an attractive grade for collectors seeking quality without the extreme premium of gem-level coins. The technical specifications—33.4g weight, 34mm diameter, and lettered edge—perfectly match the standard Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle design. Provenance and Market Significance: While the 1924 is the most common Saint-Gaudens issue, this PCGS-certified example offers superior quality and collectibility. With a price guide value of $3,800, this coin represents an excellent opportunity for both numismatic enthusiasts and precious metal investors.
