1925 $20 St. Gaudens. NGC graded MS-65. Untoned, bright, glowing. A first-class Gem of this date from the Roaring Twenties. 1925 witnessed a famous court case known as the Scopes Monkey Trial, when two bigshot lawyers of the day went head to head to discover whether mankind really is descended from the apes. The trial made headlines around the world. In fact, it made quite a show during an otherwise broiling hot summer that year, with the religious William Jennings Bryan on one side fighting the State's case against the avowed athiest Clarence Darrow, lawyer for the defense. In the end, the "defendant," a school teacher by the name of John Scopes, was found guilty for teaching evolution to his high school students and fined $100 for breaking the law against doing such a naughty thing. (The fine was later overturned on a technicality.) As Wikipedia describes it: "The trial drew intense national publicity, with modernists pitted against traditionalists over the teaching of evolution in the schools and a Fundamentalist interpretation of the Bible. The trial proved a critical turning point in the American creation-evolution controversy." (PCGS # 9180) . Estimated Value $1,650 - 1,700. Categories:
