$20 1926S PCGS MS65

Finding GEM UNMESSED with gold-especially Saints and $10 Indians is nearly impossible. For a few years, the coin docs figured out how to beat the system. At least now, with CAC around, the game is slowing dramatically and coins with doctored problems are impossible to sell. We are grateful that we are starting to find nice GEM Saints like this one again.

The obverse really looks MS66. There are just a few teenie scattered ticks-but NONE that standout to the naked eye. A full booming luster highlights gorgeous light two tone colors of orange gold/yellow gold. There are NO spots or discolorations anywhere. Miss Liberty and the details are well struck and do have light frost. The eye appeal is great-but gets even better when you realize it is a 26S, not a 26 P!

PCGS 28, NGC 20, CAC 5. PCGS has graded only 2 coins higher-one of which sold for $86,250.00 in 2005 Heritage! The real value of this coin is the fact it unquestionably NOT messed with in any way. A fresh, GEM Saint is still a good value in today’s market-especially since so few now exist.
