1914-S $20 MS65+ 认证号06666165, PCGS号9166

This coin is just outstanding with rich color and deep luster. The surfaces demonstrate a flashy, pebbly surface that has the feel of old, original gold. The coin was part of the Crawford Collection and eventually made its way to the Simpson collection. It eventually made its way to RYK and I was lucky enough to acquire it from Doug Winter when he sold the bulk of his collection.

The 1914-S is one of the most common of the early issues in Mint State, and literally thousands of examples are known. In grade up to and including MS-64, this issue is easy to locate. Even gems can be found with some regularity, and I have seen many such pieces. There are also some superb quality, in fact, nearly perfect examples, of the 1914-S known. Several hoards of more than a thousand pieces have been dispersed in the last 15 years.

The 1914-S is usually well struck and the surfaces of most specimens have a very fine granularity and a somewhat satiny texture. Lustre is nearly always very good to excellent. The color is rarely less than excellent and is often outstanding; most examples have a light to medium orange and greenish gold color. Top grade examples of this issue (and there are quite a few) can be exceptionally attractive.
