1923-D $20 St Gaudens Gold Double Eagle MS-67 PCGS

---

In 1923, the Denver Mint struck more than 1.7 million gold double eagles, each carrying a face value of twenty dollars. These impressive coins represent a high point in United States coinage, minted from a composition of 90 percent gold and containing 0.9675 troy ounces of precious metal. Today, finding a specimen preserved in an exceptional certified state of MS-67 offers a rare window into the precise craftsmanship of the early twentieth century. The Denver Mint, indicated by the D mint mark, was responsible for this specific run of the famous Saint-Gaudens design series. While many coins of this era experienced heavy circulation or melting in later decades, surviving examples in such high grades allow us to appreciate the intricate details of the design exactly as they emerged from the coining presses over a century ago.
