As Philadelphia-minted Saints from the early teens go, the 1912 Philly $20 is scarce, though perhaps not quite as challenging as other P-minted issues from this period. Certainly, circulated and lower-end uncirculated pieces are the most common of these, but Gems are quite rare as so many of these pieces exhibit moderate to heavy bagmarks.

Obverse Description

Liberty is portrayed standing on a rock, holding a torch in her right hand and an olive branch in her left. The word LIBERTY appears on the top periphery surrounded by stars. The date is stamped on the right side of the coin, just above the rock.

Reverse Description

A crescent sun appears at the bottom as if rising on the horizon with long rays extending to the top of the coin. A flying eagle covers the central portion, atop the rays. The words UNITED STATES oF AMERICA, TWENTY DOLLARS appear on the top periphery.
