Owner Comments:

Ex: Louis Eliasberg, Sr.

The 1920-D is a scarce coin in all grades, but its reputation for rarity is confirmed by the unavailability of well struck high grade pieces. Although this coin is not quite fully brought up, the obverse is well defined with strong detailing on LIBERTY and the Indian's braid. The reverse is comparatively soft, especially on the bison's leg and shoulder, which is probably why it doesn't bump to MS65. Satiny luster penetrates the faint overlay of apricot-gray toning. As a pedigree identifiers, a thin planchet lamination is present below the bison's shoulder and three interesting rim cuds are visible between 1 and 4 o'clock.
