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.
General Notes: When it comes to rarities, the 1920-S is one of the most expensive and elusive of the lot. Exceptionally rare in all grades, the 1920-S commands five-figure prices even in circulated condition. Just a tiny handful of specimens are known in the grades of MS65 or higher, with these typically flirting with or exceeding the half-million-dollar threshold.
