Description
Finest Known 1855-S Twenty Dollar, MS64 NGC
1855-S $20 MS64 NGC. This tantalizing example would capture the eye of even the most casual observer. We can find no areas of unduly bothersome striking softness and the surfaces are incredibly clean for the issue. One milling mark is detected on Liberty's chin, the only mentionable grade-limiting identifier. The texture is warm and satiny, and contiguous cartwheel effects are noted at every angle. With bright yellow-gold patina overall, it is little wonder that this premium quality specimen is the single finest certified survivor between both major grading services (9/04). Most of the survivors fall into either the VF to AU category and, as such, Akers is correct to assert that Mint State representatives are "definitely rare."(#8916) (Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 268X, PCGS# 8916, GSID# 9854)
