The 1916-S Saint-Gaudens $20 is one of the most common of the earlier mintmarked issues of the series. This has become the case most especially since about 1983, when a cache of high-grading examples were located in South America. Quality is the rule rather than the exception with 1916-S $20s, and the coin is common right through the grade of MS65. Any pieces grading MS66 or higher are considered 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.
