Description

# 1927 Saint-Gaudens $20 Gold Double Eagle. PCGS MS-61 | Philadelphia Mint | Lustrous Pre-1933 Gold Rarity. This exceptional 1927 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle represents a quintessential example of one of the most beloved gold coin series in American numismatics. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint with a substantial mintage of 2,946,750 pieces, this *$20 gold piece* showcases the iconic design by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, widely considered the most beautiful U.S. coin design ever created. Graded PCGS MS-61, this specimen exhibits the characteristic rich greenish-yellow gold coloration and frosty surfaces that make the 1927 issue particularly desirable among collectors. The coin displays sharp striking details typical of the Saint-Gaudens series, with fully rendered design elements and a vibrant mint luster that hints at its near-uncirculated state. Comprised of 90% gold and 10% copper, the piece weighs 33.4 grams and measures 34mm in diameter. Numismatically significant, this coin represents a key date in the Saint-Gaudens $20 Gold Double Eagle series. While the 1927 is considered the second most common date, high-quality specimens like this remain prized by serious collectors. The PCGS population data indicates relatively limited preservation at this grade level, making this an attractive opportunity for both advanced numismatists and discerning gold coin collectors.
