1913
.
PCGS graded MS-64
. Frosty and lightly toned.
Scarce lower mintage year. This conditionally rare MS64
contribution to the sale is brilliant with rich frosty gold sur-
faces. Impressive too is the strike, which we find is free of
censure, being sharp in all areas. Even though the luster is
which draws your attention, in the end, it is also this coin's
detail that one appreciates the most: devices foursquare
and bold throughout.
Pop 313; 20 finer, 9 in 64+, 11 in

1913
.
NGC graded MS-64
. Frosty with lovely golden
tone. Scarce date. Outstanding quality for this low mintage
issue. Each side has a bright reddish-gold center that is sur-
rounded by a wide margin of pale yellow-gold color As far
as the strike goes, putting the results in a few words we
can say it was struck with the expected exactness through-
out, a typical Philadelphia Mint coin.
Pop 186; 22 finer, 3

1913-S
.
PCGS graded AU-53
. Evenly toned. Scarcer date.
Only 34,000 struck. This would be a key date for any lower
denomination series. Yet in AU53, our estimate places this at
close to gold melt value. How sad. After commission, perhaps
slightly over melt. After sales tax and shipping costs, if any, a
smidgen more. Compare to a 1901-S Barber Quarter. Twice the
mintage of this 1913-S $20. In AU53, the ’01-S is scads higher-
priced. Because there are far more Barber Quarter collectors
than Double Eagle Collectors. This $20 seems to be the better
bargain if you like true low mintage, elusive coins that few oth-
ers could own. Sell your one-ounce Maple Leaf and a quarter-
ounce Krugerrand, then sink the proceeds into this instead.
Almost as much fine gold, plus a whole lot of history and rarity
combined. (
