Entry Details
PCGS Number: 9161 Coin Date: 1913 Denomination (Short): $20 Denomination (Long): $20 Gold Desg: MS Composition: 90% gold; 10% copper Mintage: 168,780 Strike Type: Business Coinage Type: Twenty Dollar Gold Double Eagle Coinage Years: 1908-1933 Mint Location: Philadelphia Diameter: 34 Fineness: 0.9 Weight (Grams): 33.436 Weight (Ounces): 1.075 Designer: Augustus Saint-Gaudens Edge: Reeded Obverse Description: Liberty is portrayed standing on a rock, holding a torch in her right hand and an olive branch in her left. The word LIBERTY appears on the top periphery surrounded by stars. The date is stamped on the right side of the coin, just above the rock. Reverse Description: A crescent sun appears at the bottom as if rising on the horizon with long rays extending to the top of the coin. A flying eagle covers the central portion, atop the rays. The words UNITED STATES oF AMERICA, TWENTY DOLLARS appear on the top periphery. General Notes:
The 1913 Philadelphia-minted Saint-Gaudens $20 is scarce as an issue, though lower-grade pieces are, unsurprisingly, much more common than better examples. Many pieces are heavily bagmarked, making any specimens higher than about MS63 exceptionally scarce. Gems are extremely rare, and only a handful are known -- all selling at massive premiums.
