Stolen: 1922 $20 St. Gaudens<br />

Die Adjustment Strike<br />

Editor’s Note: This mint error was recently stolen. It sold in a Heritage Galleries<br />

Auction and was purchased by Ron Karp of New York Gold Mart. If you see or<br />

hear anything about this mint error, please contact Mike Byers, the Publisher and<br />

Editor of <strong>Mint</strong> <strong>Error</strong> <strong>News</strong>, or Ron Karp of New York Gold Mart.<br />

Heritage Auction Description:<br />

Die Adjustment Strike on a 1922 Double Eagle<br />

1922 $20 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle--Die Adjustment Strike--NGC. The NGC insert omits a grade, but we<br />

suggest MS63 or finer, since practically all of the wispy abrasions present on the coin were on the planchet<br />

prior to the strike. Weakly brought up on the high points and along the borders. Nonetheless fully lustrous,<br />

and free from the bagmarks that plague nearly all survivors repatriated from foreign bank holdings.<br />
