1924 $20 Saint Gaudens Double Eagle NGC MS62

Due to the enormous amount of examples certified by the major grading companies, this attractive uncirculated 1924 Saint is being offered at an affordable price by AUCM.

Numismatist Jeff Garrett writes, "Much of Europe was in financial distress around this time [1924] and large quantities of this [date] were sent overseas for international banking transactions. Many sat there for decades and large numbers continue to find their way back to the United States each year.... the abundance of coins available makes this a great candidate for a type coin of the issue." NGC has graded 54,318 as MS62 with 282,042 finer. Collectors Universe prices the MS62 at $2,650.00.
