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.  1915 was the last year that $20 St. Gaudens were minted in Philadelphia prior to the domestic suspension of coin production during World War I.  No coins were minted in Denver that year.  Far fewer coins were produced at the Philadelphia mint than the San Francisco mint that year, making the non-mint marked 1915’s a considerably scarcer representation of that date overall.  Just 152,000 coins were struck in Philadelphia that year – as compared to 567,500 struck in San Francisco.  Survival rates push the scarcity even further, with the survival rate in uncirculated (MS60 and higher) for the 1915 Philadelphia minted coins estimated at just 6600 total coins, versus 63,000 1915-S.

Per PCGS population figures, only 13 1915 dated coins total have achieved the grade MS63+, and only 454 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 cache, 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 $4750.  Offered here for $3750.
