1912 $20 Saint Gaudens PCGS MS64

Two additional stars were squeezed onto the obverse below the date near the oak leaves on the 1912 Saint-Gaudens twenties, recognizing Arizona and New Mexico as the newest U.S. states. Although technically a new type, few collectors either know or care about the minor design change. This is a frosted straw-gold example of this conditionally challenged issue, which is seldom seen above the MS64 level. The strike is sharp and only a few small obverse marks account for the assigned grade. PCGS reports only 62 numerically finer examples, plus 37 pieces in 64+ (7/24).(Registry values: N2998)
