1929 $20 St. Gaudens MS64 PCGS

The 1929 $20 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle graded MS64 by PCGS is a major late-date gold rarity, currently commanding a market value between $82,500 and $91,500 depending on the specific coin's eye appeal and merchant. Though it has a substantial original mintage of 1,779,750, the vast majority of the production run was melted down following the gold recalls of the 1930s. Today, it is estimated that fewer than 1,000 total specimens survive across all grades, making choice Mint State examples highly coveted keys to a registry set.
