This 1926-S Saint-Gaudens $20 Double Eagle gold coin boasts an impressively sharp strike, showcasing intricate details against a backdrop of vibrant honey-gold luster. Despite minor contact marks, its overall condition remains exceptional. Notably, it features the characteristic beveled rims typical of Saint-Gaudens coins minted in San Francisco during this era.

The rarity of the 1926-S Double Eagle in high grade contrasts with its mintage of over 2 million pieces, with only an estimated 1,758 pieces existing across all grades. Mint state examples rarely come up for auction and the Almost Uncirculated grade remains the most affordable to most collectors. This is not a coin you will see often up for sale given its rarity and popularity. At one point, the 1926-S was regarded as the third scarcest collectible Saint-Gaudens double eagle, trailing only behind the 1924-S and 1926-D. It held a higher status than the 1920-S or 1921 and was even considered rarer than the 1927-D. This year rarely carries CAC endorsement, but with its limited friction and satiny luster you can see why this one was stickered. There is a CAC population of only 5 in this grade, with a massive price jump at the next level. There has been no AU58 sale in the last 14 years. The most recent comparable was an NGC AU58 CAC sold for $5,124 06/23 GC.
