Introducing a rare and exquisite addition to your numismatic collection: the 1922 $20 Saint Gaudens Double Eagle, graded PCGS MS63 and struck at the prestigious Philadelphia Mint. This coin hails from a significant period in American history, making it a cherished piece for both seasoned collectors and those new to the art of coin collecting.
Crafted with the artistic genius of Augustus Saint-Gaudens, this 1922 Double Eagle is celebrated for its detailed design, characterized by Lady Liberty striding forward with her toga billowing in the wind. The reverse features a majestic bald eagle soaring above a sunrise, capturing the remarkable spirit of the early 20th century.
In terms of availability, the 1922 mintage is relatively common in Mint State condition.

The vibrant, rich orange hue of this piece, occasionally accentuated with coppery highlights, adds an unparalleled glow and desirability. While this issue is not as elusive as the 1920 or 1923 releases, gems in higher grades are rare, making this MS63 an affordable yet prestigious acquisition.
The 1922 Saint Gaudens Double Eagle is renowned for its lustrous satiny sheen, often accompanied by a frosty texture that captivates collectors and enthusiasts alike. Although some specimens may display slight weaknesses in the design details, this particular piece maintains excellent color and luster, ensuring it stands out in any collection.
