For many years numismatists thought the 1909-D Saint-Gaudens $20 was a rare coin, until a hoard was discovered in South America during the mid 1980s. These days, the issue is still considered a better date but is obtainable with relatively little effort. Mint State pieces are scarce, and Gems are quite 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.
