      Coin Date: 1930-S
      Denomination (Short): $20
      Denomination (Long): Twenty dollar gold double eagle
      Desg: MS
      Mint Mark: S
      Composition: 90% gold; 10% copper
      Mintage: 74,000
      Strike Type: Business
      Coinage Type: Saint Gaudens gold double eagle
      Coinage Years: 1908-1933
      Mint Location: San Francisco
      Diameter: 34
      Fineness: 0.9
      Weight (Grams): 33.436
      Weight (Ounces): 0.9675
      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: With a survival estimate of fewer than 75 pieces, the 1930-S Saint-Gaudens is -- hands down -- the rarest of all Saints issued from 1929 through 1932. Virtually all exist in uncirculated grades, though a tiny handful of circulated examples are known. Among the uncirculated specimens, pieces grading MS65 or higher are the rarest of the rare, and a few specimens are known in MS66 or better, with these worth well into the six figures.
