Description

Exceptional 1878-S Twenty Dollar, MS63

1878-S $20 MS63 NGC. Typically frosty with a pleasing mix of green-gold, orange-gold and pink coloration on both sides. The design features are much better struck than typically seen. Both sides exhibit pleasing luster, despite moderate contact marks. A high-end example of this early Type Three issue, for the grade. Scarcer overall than the mintage of 1.7 million pieces would suggest, and rare at the MS63 grade level, where only seven examples have been certified by NGC and six at PCGS. Virtually unobtainable any finer, just two pieces are graded at MS64 by NGC, while none have achieved the near-Gem rank at PCGS (3/09).
