The 1926-D is one of the major rarities of the Saint-Gaudens series, with fewer than 500 or so estimated to survive across all grades. Most are known in uncirculated grades, though most of these are clustered in the MS60-62 range, with even MS63s proving quite rare. Pieces grading MS65 or higher are virtually elusive and have been publicly offered on only rare occasions over the years.

Obverse Description

Liberty is portrayed standing on a rock, holding a torch in her right hand and an olive branch in her left. The word LIBERTY appears on the top periphery surrounded by stars. The date is stamped on the right side of the coin, just above the rock.

Reverse Description

A crescent sun appears at the bottom as if rising on the horizon with long rays extending to the top of the coin. A flying eagle covers the central portion, atop the rays. The words UNITED STATES oF AMERICA, TWENTY DOLLARS appear on the top periphery.
