Though much scarcer than its Philadelphia-minted sibling from 1908, the 1908-D $20 can be found with relative ease in the circulated and lower-uncirculated grades. However, Gems are considered quite rare, with very few available and relatively few in the marketplace at any given time in the grades of MS65. Those grading MS66 or better are truly rare.
