1928 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle $20 Gold NGC MS65

The 1928 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle $20 Gold NGC MS65 is one of the most celebrated coins in American numismatic history, and this example has earned a Gem Uncirculated MS65 grade from the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, the 1928 Double Eagle represents the final high-mintage year of this beloved series before gold coinage was called in during the 1930s, making surviving Gem examples particularly prized by collectors.

The obverse showcases Augustus Saint-Gaudens' masterful design of a full-length Liberty striding confidently forward, torch raised in her right hand and an olive branch in her left, with sunrays radiating behind her and LIBERTY arched above. The reverse features a powerful American eagle in mid-flight, rendered with exceptional sculptural depth, framed by UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and TWENTY DOLLARS. At MS65, this coin displays the sharp strike, bright luster, and minimal contact marks that define the Gem Uncirculated tier. It is housed in NGC's secure, sonically sealed slab bearing certification number 4964754-045, making it ready for display in any world-class collection.
