1913-D $20 Gold MS Values
Details
The 1913-D is considered by some to be a better-date Saint, with this being especially the case with nicer uncirculated examples. MS65 aren't necessarily rare, but they are much more difficult than similar Gems from more common years. Meanwhile, pieces grading MS66 or better are truly rare, proving difficult to obtain and commanding robust premiums.
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.
