The 1926 Saint-Gaudens $20 is among the more common issues in the series, but it is not quite as readily available as the 1924, 1927, and 1928 Phillies. Still, the coin is frequently encountered in the marketplace through MS65, and there are decent supplies available in the MS66 grade range. All examples grading higher are rare.
