    On a GTG I'd have gone VG08.
    Neat coin!
    Are you happy CAC did not gold sticker it?

    Double eagles rarely circulated as pocket change so this was probably someone's pocket piece and was carried around for several decades.

    Probably somebody's pocketpiece, but it's still under graded IMO.

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

    Not mine but this coin is in AG 3. GC description: This coin is an exceptionally rare date - and out of all of the late date rarities, 1931, 1931-D, 1932 - the 1930-S is by far the rarest. Over the past few years, we have seen the 1930-S break away from the other rarities, as it is now being appreciated more.

    During the great depression, it is amazing someone kept this coin as a pocket piece. There is not a single 1930-S graded below AU-58 by PCGS or NGC, except this coin.


    I bid on that one last year on GC. Probably my only chance to own the date but if I remember it went for over $60,000.

    That 30-S is a great piece and it’s over graded. Love the reverse

    Certainly not my series, but it appears to have a lot of meat on the bone for a G06.

    Very hard to find any Saint below AU-58.

    I manage to find 7 bullion priced 1907 Liberties grading AU-50 to AU-58 that JA reviewed with me and agrees PCGS or CACG will straight grade. These circulated final year $20 Liberties appear to be scarcer in circulated grades than high mint state. LOL.

    Better than Good. Almost certainly a pocket piece. Don't you wonder who carried it for many years?

    That 30-S is so cool.....I don't believe I've ever really seen "1930" on a Saint. Just weird looking....I'm so used to seeing 1928 all of the time...

    I bought this in a SB auction back in 2020, haven't found a downgrade since! I've handled many thousands of $20's and have NEVER seen anything even below a Good come across my counter. They are extremely scarce this worn.

    Thanks for posting. Beautiful coin. Great wear. It seems like the more they wear the more Orange shows up!!
