The 1909 Saint-Gaudens $20 is a scarcer issue among the series, but widely available in circulated and lower uncirculated grades. In grades of about MS64 and up, the 1909 is a true rarity, with true Gems numbering perhaps to only a few dozen pieces total. Most 1909 Saints are sharply struck, and of the high-end pieces that exist the majority offer exceptional luster and eye appeal.
