For the first years after its creation, the 1922-S was regarded as a major rarity. However, a hoard was discovered in Europe during the 1950s and other groupings came along in the 1960s, 1970s, and early 1980s, causing it to now be regarded as a significantly scarce, but not necessarily rare, issue. Still, Gems are quite rare and perhaps number fewer than two or three dozen in all.

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.
