Description

Pleasing AU 1854-S Twenty

1854-S $20 AU50 PCGS. The San Francisco Mint opened in 1854 and struck only 141,468 double eagles--a diminutive number compared to its output over the next decade. Flashy luster radiates from the olive-gold surfaces. Liberty's hair is soft, as often seen, but the rest of the details are bold. An attractive example of this desirable first-year issue.
