Description click for larger image2133: 1932 $20 MS66 NGC. 1932 $20 MS66 NGC. The 1932 is a popular coin with collectors as it is the last collectible date in the Saint-Gaudens series (except, of course, for the single legal-to-own 1933). The 1932 should be abundant if one were to judge by mintage figures alone. But this issue underscores the unreliability of mintage figures for this series as 1,101,750 pieces were struck; however, in all grades it is estimated that today only 115 coins are known. Almost all 1932 twenties are in mint condition as the coins had virtually no time to circulate before the Gold Recall Act of 1933. The average grade for the 1932 twenty is 64.4, placing this piece considerably above the median grade. In fact, only 21 pieces have been certified MS64 when one combines the two major grading services (seven at PCGS and 14 by NGC), and none are finer (6/08). The 1932 is roughly equivalent in overall rarity and high grade rarity to the 1931. This particular piece has extraordinary luster characteristics and color. The color palette for 1932 twenties is wide ranging and can include medium to rich yellow or green-gold to light and medium orange and green-gold. This piece is atypical in that regard. The green-gold base color of the coin is accented by subtle pink overtones. The striking details are strongly brought up on each side and the only pedigree identifier is a shallow luster scrape (that gives the coin a different color in this area) located near the rim at 3 o'clock on the obverse. Just a phenomenal example and more colorful than the Morse coin that we sold in November 2005.From The Pierson MacDonald Grieve Collection.Coin Engraver: Augustus Saint-GaudensShipping: Coins & Currency (view shipping information)Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium with a $9 minimum Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
