1915-S $20 MS65+ NGC

The San Francisco Mint struck 567,500 Saint-Gaudens double eagles in 1915, with an estimated 86,666 examples surviving today. Although the issue is relatively obtainable in Mint State, exceptionally well-preserved Gems with superior luster, sharp strikes, and outstanding eye appeal remain highly desirable among advanced collectors. The 1915-S is particularly appealing to those seeking premium-quality examples of the classic Saint-Gaudens design.

This magnificent high-end Gem displays radiant orange-gold surfaces complemented by warm golden highlights and vibrant, satiny mint luster. Both sides exhibit exceptional brilliance, with strong cartwheel luster illuminating Liberty's flowing gown and the eagle's intricately rendered plumage. The strike is impressively sharp, revealing crisp definition throughout the design. Beautifully preserved surfaces, with remarkably few distracting marks, contribute to the coin's exceptional freshness and outstanding aesthetic appeal.

An impressive example of this San Francisco issue, combining rich coloration, exceptional luster, and superior preservation. Its attractive surfaces and strong technical quality make it a desirable addition to an advanced Saint-Gaudens collection or high-quality gold type set. The PCGS Price Guide is $5,750, with a population of 79 examples and 280 finer, while the NGC Price Guide is $6,250, with a population of 45 examples and 240 finer.
