PCGS Number: 9181 Coin Date: 1925-D Denomination (Short): $20 Denomination (Long): $20 Gold Desg: MS Mint Mark: D Composition: 90% gold; 10% copper Mintage: 2,938,500 Strike Type: Business Coinage Type: Twenty Dollar Gold Double Eagle Coinage Years: 1908-1933 Mint Location: Denver 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 1925-D Saint-Gaudens is a real rarity, with fewer than 1,000 specimens estimated to exist. While most survivors are in uncirculated grades, just a tiny handful are MS65 or better. The handful of MS65s are all worth solid five-figure prices while the few MS66s realize six-figure hammer prices. While this coin is rare in all grades, those known in the MS range feature decent strike, luster, and color.
