Speaking broadly, $20 St. Gaudens struck in the main U.S. mint in Philadelphia from 1909 to 1915 are scarcer overall than those minted in the branch mints of Denver of San Francisco.  In 1914 that disparity was especially notable, with just 95,250 coins struck in Philadelphia that year – as compared to 1,498,000 struck in San Francisco and 453,000 struck in Denver.  Survival rates push the scarcity even further, with the survival rate in uncirculated (MS60 and higher) for the 1914 Philadelphia minted coins estimated at just 6850 total coins, versus 25,650 1914-D and 85,850 1914-S.

Per PCGS population figures, only 14 1914 dated coins total have achieved the grade MS63+, and only 638 are known to have survived in better condition.  The overall scarcity rating among all St. Gaudens for the 1915 in grade MS60 or better is 25/54, meaning in the grade offered here, the 1915 is the 25th rarest date in the St. Gaudens series, with 29 dates more common.   This example is highly lustrous and well struck.  Like all coins from this hoard, it retains the entirety of it’s beautiful original orange peel die coloring, and is an exceptional specimen for it’s grade.  A true work of art and exceptional piece of American history.

The PCGS suggested retail price for this coin is $5250.  Offered here for $3750.
