1923-D $20 Gold MS Values
Details
The 1923-D Saint-Gaudens double eagle ranks as one of the most common issues in the series and certainly one of the most frequently encountered branch-mint pieces. Even Gems are easy to locate, with MS66s proving plentiful and even a few dozen or so MS67s appearing on the market from time to time. Most uncirculated examples showcase great luster and strike, making for excellent eye appeal.
This coin is made of 90% gold; 10% copper and has a current melt value of $4,338.21
Obverse: 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: 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.
