The 1915-S Saint-Gaudens $20 is one of the more common early issues in the series, with circulated examples regularly encountered. Even Gems are widely available, with MS65s plentiful and a small but significant supply of straight-grade MS66s making their rounds in the marketplace. Nicer examples are extremely rare and like other top-line Saints are pursued heavily by registry set collectors.

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.
