1914-S $20 Gold MS Values
Details
The 1914-S Saint-Gaudens $20 is among the more common issues, certainly so for the branch mints. The coin is widely available in the marketplace, and Gems are pretty easy to locate. Only in MS66 or higher does the 1914-S become harder to find, though most Mint State examples of this coin offer nice luster and strike, with overall pleasing surfaces.
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.
