Details
The 1925 Saint-Gaudens $20 is a common coin that is widely available up through at least MS64, with Gems in the MS65 regularly encountered in the marketplace, though perhaps not quite with the frequency of the 1924, 1927, or 1928 Philadelphia-minted $20s. Examples in MS66 are relatively scarce and pieces grading higher are rare.
This coin is made of 90% gold; 10% copper and has a current melt value of $4,645.02
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.
