1856-S Double Eagle, MS62
Ex: S.S.C.A., First Recovery

1856-S $20 Variety-17D, Full Serif, S Tilted Right, MS62 PCGS. Ex: S.S. Central America. SSCA 5213. The S.S. Central America bounty of gold coin was primarily 1857-S double eagles. But other issues were also present, including 1856-S twenties. S.S.C.A. numismatist Robert Evans documented numerous die varieties. Variety 17-D has a low date, with the 1 much closer to the dentils than the 6. The mintmark is centered over the N in TWENTY, and tilts right. This crisply struck and lustrous orange-gold example has fewer marks than expected, and displays a hint of lilac toning on the upper right obverse. Housed in a gold foil holder associated with the circa-1988 First Recovery.(Registry values: P4)
