1913-S $20 Gold Saint Gaudens PCGS MS64+ CAC Approved *RARE DATE, GEM* - $11,500 - (New Market, MD)

1913-S $20 Gold Saint Gaudens PCGS MS64+ CAC Approved *RARE DATE, GEM* Important Details: PCGS Price Guide: $11,000PCGS Population: 13 in MS64+, likely inflated by resubmissions. 3 CAC approved.Price One Grade Higher: In MS65 this becomes a $35,000+ coin according to PCGS & NGC price guides and auction records.Original Mintage: 34,000 Analysis The 1913-S $20 Saint-Gaudens is the third most popular coin in the series and is relatively common in low grades. However, upon reaching higher uncirculated grades like this example, the coin becomes nearly impossible to find. The 1913-S is a classic condition rarity.

Only a few fewer contact marks would give this coin a solid MS 65 grade. The PCGS population for the 1913-S Double Eagle in MS64+ is 13 with just 24 finer, but fewer than 5 examples have been approved by CAC. I believe that the population figures are well inflated by resubmissions, plus a number of the coins graded as such might not be regarded as MS64+ or MS65 if they were re-graded today. In summary, this is an excellent example to add to any Saint-Gaudens collection. The next grade higher (MS65) starts at around $35,000. A recent example of an MS64+ was sold for $14,688 and di…
