1914-D $20 Saint-Gaudens Gold PCGS MS-65

The 1914-D Double Eagle left the Denver Mint in a run of just 453,000 pieces, one of the smaller Saint-Gaudens figures of the 1910s. Like most $20 gold of the era, the majority sat in bank vaults and overseas reserves, and later repatriation brought many back covered in bag marks. That history explains why collectors who want a genuinely clean, high-grade 1914-D have to hunt for one. The date belongs to the With Motto type, struck after IN GOD WE TRUST returned to the reverse in 1908.

Augustus Saint-Gaudens placed Liberty striding forward with a torch raised in one hand and an olive branch in the other, while rays fan across the field behind her and the Capitol dome sits at lower left. Forty-eight stars ring the border, one for each state in 1914, and the D mintmark rests just below the date. The reverse shows a young eagle in flight above a sunburst, with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and TWENTY DOLLARS arched above. Strike quality is strong, with bold detail in Liberty's gown and sharp relief in the eagle's feathers.

PCGS graded this Double Eagle MS-65. The surfaces carry warm orange-gold color with satiny luster, and the high points on Liberty's knee and breast stay free of the distracting marks that hold most survivors at lower grades. Eye appeal at this level, on a mintmarked Denver issue, makes the coin a natural anchor for a type set or a date-and-mint run of Saint-Gaudens gold. For those seeking a high-grade example of the 1914-D, this coin delivers. The coin pictured is the exact coin you will receive.
