The 1927-S Saint-Gaudens double eagle is a very rare issue that is challenging regardless of the grade in which an example is sought. Perhaps 200 to 250 exist, and most are known in the lower uncirculated grades. While most exhibit a strong strike and decent luster, many show moderate to heavy bag marks or other troubling surface distractions. Examples grading MS65 are extremely rare and those grading higher are all but elusive.

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.
