Choice AU 1855-S Twenty
An Affordable Type One

1855-S $20 AU55 PCGS. CAC. The 1855-S is one of the more available Type One twenties, primarily because of the number of examples found on the S.S. Central America and S.S. Republic shipwrecks. This piece does not indicate if it originated from one of those hoards. The surfaces retain good amounts of luster around the devices, and each side has the numerous small to medium-sized marks this issue is known for. The most prominent marks are located in the field below star 13. The color is dusky gold with darker accents over the high points. Well struck.(Registry values: N1793)
