A true Sleeper Date

This coin is from a fresh group a Gold $20’s we recently bought out of a 1980’s collection of raw $20’s that had been off the market for many years. This better date is rare to find in this MS64 condition. A very small group were minted of 34,000 with many melted down and never put in circulation. This is a date most collections are missing from the San Francisco Mint.

A PCGS MS65 would cost you $45,000 to $50,00 easy. The MS64 offered today is a nice value play under current market conditions. You won’t find a better deal for this date

Created by master sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, the 1913-S $20 Gold Saint Gaudens is the descendant of the $20 Liberty Double Eagle which first entered circulation in 1850. The denomination was created as a means of exhausting an overage in gold supply due to the 1849 California Gold Rush. They were never intended for general use in commerce as the amount easily equated to a month's wage during the time of issue - making them impractical to carry as a coin. Instead, they were struck to monetize the surplus of gold and to be used exclusively in business transactions, largely between banks.
