The Philadelphia 1911 Saint-Gaudens $20 is a relatively scarce and underrated coin, though in circulated grades it is relatively obtainable. Examples grading in the Gem range are sought after and sell for healthy premiums, though given the lower population estimates for higher-graded examples of this Philly issue it is reasonable to suggest that the coin is much rarer than market values may suggest.

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.
