1923-D $20

Coin / United States of America / 1923 / Denver / $20 Saint Gaudens Gold / $20 (Twenty Dollars)

The 1923-D Saint-Gaudens double eagle ranks as one of the most common issues in the series and certainly one of the most frequently encountered branch-mint pieces. Even Gems are easy to locate, with MS66s proving plentiful and even a few dozen or so MS67s appearing on the market from time to time. Most uncirculated examples showcase great luster and strike, making for excellent eye appeal.
