The 1923 Philly $20 is, by and large, considered a common coin. However, pieces grading MS64 are noticeably more difficult to locate than their lower-grading counterparts and true Gems -- those grading MS65 or higher -- are rare. Most exhibit nice luster and are well struck, with the exception of a relative few showing weaknesses in the area of the coin in and around the Capitol building.

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.
