1915 $20

Coin / United States of America / 1915 / Philadelphia / $20 Saint Gaudens Gold / $20 (Twenty Dollars)

Generally speaking, the 1915 Philly Saint is considered a conditional better-date, with circulated examples quite common and nicer examples in the grades of MS64 or higher proving very difficult to locate. True Gems are rare, and perhaps fewer than 100 exist in the grades of MS65 or higher. Needless to say, top-grading examples catch the attention of the many Saint-Gaudens registry set collectors.
