1922 $20 St. Gaudens Gold Double Eagle MS-64+ PCGS

---

In 1922, the Philadelphia Mint produced a run of 1,375,500 gold coins in the legendary St. Gaudens series. Bearing a face value of twenty dollars, this double eagle is struck from 0.900 fine gold, containing 0.9675 troy ounces of precious metal. Because it was minted at the main Philadelphia facility, the coin carries no mint mark, presenting a clean and classic execution of one of the most celebrated designs in American numismatic history. This particular specimen is graded in Mint State 64+ (MS-64+), indicating a highly preserved surface that showcases the intricate details of the design. As a premier example of pre-1933 United States gold, the 1922 double eagle stands as a testament to early twentieth-century coining craftsmanship, offering a window into an era when gold coins circulated as active currency.
