1925-S $20

Coin / United States of America / 1925 / San Francisco / $20 Saint Gaudens Gold / $20 (Twenty Dollars)

A major rarity, the 1925-S Saint is about as common in circulated grades as uncirculated, though examples grading MS64 or better are exceptional rarities. A few are known in grades of MS65 and at least one in each MS67 and MS68. All Gems are six-figure coins, though any 1925-S $20 regardless of grades commands significant premiums and are highly sought by all dedicated Saint-Gaudens enthusiasts.
