While the 1926-S $20 is one of the most common mintmarked Saints of the period, it is still a very scarce coin in all grades, especially in grades of MS65 or better. Historically, this coin was regarded a far greater rarity than it is even known to be today, but the discoveries of a few small European hoards changed that in the 1950s and 1960s.
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.
