1856-S Twenty Dollar, AU58
Khaki-Gold Coloration

1856-S $20 AU58 NGC. CAC. Variety 17A. The striking of double eagles at the San Francisco Mint continued to climb three years after the facility's inauguration, reaching nearly 1.2 million coins in 1856. Although the provenance of this near-Mint No Motto twenty is uncertain, the die matches many coins recovered from the wreckage of the S.S. Central America (full serifs on STATES, broken A). Each khaki-gold side is awash in considerable mint luster, providing excellent aesthetic appeal. Well-detailed with shallow abrasions peppered evenly throughout.(Registry values: N1793)
