Description
1916-S $20 Gold Double Eagle, NGC MS66. This 1916-S Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle represents an excellent example of one of America's most iconic gold coins. Struck at the San Francisco Mint during the height of the Saint-Gaudens design era, this $20 gold piece exhibits the artistic excellence that made this series beloved by collectors and numismatists alike. The obverse features Lady Liberty in dynamic stride, while the reverse displays a majestic eagle in flight—a design that revolutionized American coinage aesthetics when introduced in 1907. The NGC MS66 grade indicates this coin has been well-preserved, displaying attractive luster and minimal surface marks consistent with high-grade uncirculated examples. The San Francisco Mint mark specimens from 1916 represent a solid date in the series, making this an appealing addition to any Saint-Gaudens collection. The coin's technical specifications include a .9675 fine gold content with a total weight of 33.436 grams, containing approximately one troy ounce of pure gold. NGC Certificate #4626467004. *Starting Bid: $12,500*
