The 1927 Saint-Gaudens is one of the most common Saints. In fact, is frequently even purchased by bullion investors given that the price of lower-grade 1927 Philadelphia-minted $20s is closely tied to the bullion markets. The 1927 Philly Saint is readily found in grades through MS66, though availability drops off dramatically above that grade threshold. Pieces grading MS67 or higher are exceptionally rare.
