As far as late Saint-Gaudens double eagles go, this is among the more common, particularly from the standpoint of Saints made between 1929 and 1933. Still, it is a very scarce coin overall, and one that generally trades well into the five figures. While examples in any grade are scarce, most are pretty well struck, with the higher-end pieces showing decent luster. Specimens grading MS65 or higher are especially rare.
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.
