Brilliant Uncirculated 1854-S Liberty Twenty

1854-S $20 MS 61 NGC. An always-popular issue, the 1854-S is the first double eagle delivery from the San Francisco Mint. This issue's mintage figure is 141,468 pieces, a paltry total when one considers that early S-mint gold was heavily circulated on the West Coast. Judging by current NGC and PCGS population data, this issue is scarce in AU and rare in Mint State. Well defined with no singularly objectionable abrasions, this coin presents remarkably well for the grade. There are traces of original luster in the more protected areas, and the color is an attractive golden-rose hue.
From the Helyn Van Huffel Collection.
