$20 1926 PCGS MS66+

$14,000.00

This wicked neat coin was purchased by a major crack out dealer out of our 03/2019 sale. We have no idea what they were thinking (possibly a variety play). The coin is VERY HIGH END, but not a MS67.

Here is the description:

Tied for SECOND FINEST for the DATE, and tied for FINEST of the Tripled Die obverse variety. Roger Burdette estimates that about 10% of all 1926 $20s are of the tripled die obverse variety. The tripling is most evident around the date and the ASG monogram.

Extremely lustrous possessing a blazing golden glow with a bold vibrance throughout. In addition, there are brilliant, swirling cartwheels that smoothly roll over the extremely clean surfaces. The devices are sharply struck with full definition throughout. The eye appeal is gorgeous! For the variety:

PCGS 17, NGC 5. There are only 2 in 66+ with NONE FINER. For the date: PCGS 910, NGC 439, CAC 70. There are 27 in MS66+ for the date, with only five in MS67 finer. This coin realized $14,100.00. In 01/2020 a regular date sold for $24,000.00 (auctions can make people act crazy).
